PK-Priyanka Meet: Does Congress Need Kishor, or Does Kishor Need Congress?

• Reported secret meeting between Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi and Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor sparks political speculation.
• Both Congress (6 seats) and PK's Jan Suraaj (lost deposits, 3% vote share) performed poorly in recent Bihar elections.
• The article questions if PK, known for his ambition and ideological fluidity, can be an asset to Congress or if he needs their support after his Bihar failure.
• PK previously sought a powerful party role in Congress, not just an election strategist position, which Rahul Gandhi reportedly declined.
• Kishor's history of working with diverse leaders like PM Modi, Mamata Banerjee, and Nitish Kumar highlights his ideologically unaligned public image.

Why It Matters: Prashant Kishor's political future uncertain after Bihar failure; potential Congress tie-up debated.
