A small committee would be created to look at Kishor's thoughts and ideas and how to carry them forward, according to senior Congress politician KC Venugopal, who met with Kishor, Sonia Gandhi, and Rahul Gandhi on Saturday.
Kishor has just recently begun discussions with the Gandhis about playing a role in rebuilding the Congress in readiness for the general election in 2024. After many rounds of teaming-up negotiations, the two parties had previously disagreed.
The talks, according to sources close to the strategist, are not focused on the Gujarat election later this year, as the Congress maintains. According to sources, the Congress leadership and Prashant Kishor, or "PK," are largely planning a national electoral strategy for 2024.
