New Delhi: After the Congress’s debacle in the recently concluded assembly elections in five states, the election strategist, Prashant Kishor has reportedly given his proposal to work for the party in the coming assembly polls in Gujarat.

As per reports, the proposal has come after a long gap, mainly after the discussion between him and the other Congress leaders failed to reach any pact on election strategy last September.

After the talks failed, the  Congress involved a former associate of Kishor for preparing election strategy while Kishor was appointed by Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress for the polls preparations. 

According to reports, Kishor has given the offer to the Congress to work for the party’s campaign in coming assembly polls in Gujarat but with the condition that he should be given free hand.

The sources said that the party has not taken any decision on the proposal. The matter came up for discussion during a meeting held by Rahul Gandhi with Gujarat Congress leaders recently.

With the election to be held in the last quarter of the year in Gujarat, some of the party leaders of the State are in favour of giving the poll campaign job to Kishor, however, the final decision has to be taken by Rahul Gandhi himself. Kishor was almost ready to join the Congress but the plan did not work out due to some reasons.

Kishor also held close door meetings with Sonia Gandhi, Rahul and Priyanka last year. It was then believed that Kishor’s joining Congress was merely a formality now. But things didn't go as expected.
After which, a furious war of wards started, mainly after Kishor criticized the functioning of the Congress and its top leaders.

Kishor had openly said it was not the "divine right of any individual" to lead the Congress mainly when the party has lost more than 90 per cent of the elections in the last 10 years.
