While noting the steep fall of the Congress, electoral strategy champion, Prashant Kishor has proposed the “reincarnation of Congress” to win polls in 2024. In an important presentation to the Congress top brass, Kishor talked about ‘preserving the soul, creating a new body’. The inspiration is the symbols of Nataraja namely creation, protection, liberation, destruction, concealment and connection.

The resolutions include creating a new Congress that is the political platform of choice for the masses. Destroy a sense of entitlement, lack of accountability and sycophancy, Kishor says in the presentation. It notes that perhaps for the first time, the Congress leadership does not appear fully aligned in terms of goals, strategy, method, approach, tactics and the way forward; leading to a complete lack of cohesion, at times confusion and stalemate.
