WheRe is pRashant kishoR?

The biggest question in Congress circles these days is about where Prashant Kishor is. The much-touted adviser to Rahul Gandhi on election strategy has disappeared after ruining the Congress’ prospects in Uttar Pradesh. The Congress leadership in the state is furious with PK, especially over projecting Sheila Dikshit as Chief Ministerial face and then abandoning her, thus alienating the Brahmins. He then went to Punjab, but got thrown out of the state by Amarinder Singh. Some are saying that Kishor is now in Uttarakhand, advising Harish Rawat. Ever since PK has landed in Dehradun, the situation has deteriorated, and now the Congress is said to be facing a major defeat. PK suggested the projecting of a Brahmin leadership, but in Uttarakhand the Brahmins are abandoning the Congress. He is supposed to have charged the Congress a hefty fee, in spite of his failures. If a senior JDU leader is to be believed, Prashant Kishor is nobody’s man; he goes where the money is.
