Prashant Kishor the poll strategist popular as PK has suggested that Rahul Gandhi should consider stepping back if the Congress does not get the desired results in the Lok Sabha polls.
PK was all the time critical against Rahul and stated that the Congress in no way can take on the mighty BJP. This time the BJP will win for the third time and that Modi will become the PM again.
PK said Gandhi, is running his party and has been unable to either step aside or let somebody else steer the Congress despite his inability to deliver in the last 10 years.
“This according to me is also anti-democratic,” said Kishor, who had prepared a revival plan for the opposition party but walked out due to the disagreements between him and its leadership over the execution of his strategy.
“When you are doing the same work for the last 10 years without any success, then there is no harm in taking a break… You should allow someone else to do it for five years.
Your mother did it,” he said, recalling Sonia Gandhi’s decision to keep away from politics following her husband Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination and let P V Narasimha Rao take charge in 1991.
Earlier PK tried to become the General Secretary of the Congress, but Rahul and Priyanka did not give the post to the PK. They chose not to take the advice of the PK for UP elections.
