Prashant Kishor's message to young Congress members in UP
Last week, Congress strategist Prashant Kishor held a meeting of young party members belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in Uttar Pradesh. The meeting lasted more than five hours. Kishor asked those hoping to get tickets in the state's Assembly elections in 2017 to form teams of 250 young people. He told them he was only a strategist; the actual work had to be done by volunteers. His message: don't fight with each other, don't pay attention to rumours and gossip, just do your work. When young leaders said they wanted more tickets and representation, Kishor told them that in Punjab too, 40 per cent of those getting tickets were young people. The same pattern would be followed in UP, he said. Kishor will be camping in the state for the next 10 months.
