Poll strategist Prashant Kishor may attend a meeting of UP Congress state, district and city unit office bearers to work out a strategy for the 2017 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections in Lucknow on March 10. Kishor reportedly had a meeting with Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi earlier this week.
Kishor, who had successfully managed the poll strategy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, is said to have been invited to the meeting, if one were to go by a statement of chairman of the communications department of the party Satyadev Tripathi.
Besides the vice presidents of the state Congress committees, general secretaries of district and city units will attend the meeting along with UPCC president Nirmal Khatri and AICC general secretary in charge of state affairs Madhusudan Mistry, Tripathy added.
