In December, Kishor's team identified 200 "influencers" in every constituency and enlisted their support to canvass for the AAP
Kishor had managed the election campaigns of PM Modi in 2014, Bihar CM in 2015, and Punjab CM in 2017.
According to sources, Kishor is preparing in earnest for the Bihar Assembly polls, scheduled for September-October
Kishor like West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has been criticial of Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Population Register
Both leaders have been critical of the party president and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over his support to the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and the National Population Register (NPR)
There was no immediate reaction from leaders of the JD(U), who were stunned by Kishor's action
After 18 years in politics, RCP Singh's political reflexes were appropriately acuminated for him to know it was not the time to sulk or carp
"The JD(U) is a bigger party, has close to 70 MLAs while the BJP has just over 50. Moreover, the assembly elections are to be fought with Nitish Kumar as the NDA face," he said.
Kishor, on his part, has been demanding an "official announcement" from Congress president Sonia Gandhi that NRC will not be implemented in the states ruled by her party
Kishor, however, stressed the need for measures "beyond public protests" and sought an "official" announcement by Congress chief Sonia Gandhi that there will be no NRC in states ruled by her party
Prashant Kishor, who publicly took a stand contrary to that of his party on the citizenship law, offered his resignation to the party chief Nitish Kumar here on Saturday, sources said.
The Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC) is currently working on the Trinamool Congress' re-election campaign for the 2021 West Bengal Assembly polls
"Happy to share that IndianPAC is coming on-board with us. Welcome aboard!" the chief minister said in a tweet
Party leader Pavan Varma said the Bill is not in consonance with JD(U)'s constitution, which cannot be held hostage to political concerns
After an over seven-hour-long debate, the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2019 was passed in the Lok Sabha, with 311 members favouring it and 80 voting against it
The party took a nuanced position on the scrapping of the provisions of Article 370; now it is mulling whether it should start reaching out to Dalits in Bengal
Banerjee's meeting with Kishor took place at a time when the TMC supremo is facing a tough challenge from the BJP on her home turf
The ABVP activists had alleged that Kishor's visit to the VC's residence violated the model code of conduct that was in force in view of the PUSU elections
Not everybody is happy within the JD(U) at the appointment of an 'outsider' at such a senior position
With Prashant Kishor joining JD (U), Nitish now has a dependable poll manager for 2019 and 'direct line' to BJP leadership for seat-sharing talks. But everyone in the party isn't happy
