Prashant Kishor Pandey ,[1] colloquially known as PK , is an Indian political strategist and tactician .[3] He worked in public health[4] programmes funded by the United Nations for eight years before venturing into Indian politics and working as a political strategist .[5] [6]
Kishor has worked as a political strategist for BJP to gain his knowledge then he worked for the BJP , JD(U ) , INC , AAP , YSRCP , DMK and TMC .[7] [8] [9] His first major political campaign was in 2011 to help Narendra Modi , then Chief Minister of Gujarat get re-elected to the CM Office for a third time in the Gujarat Assembly Elections 2012.[10] [11] However, he came to wider public attention when Citizens for Accountable Governance (CAG), an election-campaign group he conceptualised, helped the Narendra Modi -led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) win an absolute majority in the 2014 Lok Sabha election .[12]
Personal life and career
[ edit ]
Kishor hails from the Konar village, Sasaram of Rohtas district , Bihar , India . He later moved to Buxar , Bihar where he completed his secondary education.[2] [6] He is married to Jahnavi Das, a physician hailing from Guwahati , Assam , with whom he has a son.[13] [14]
Reportedly working pro bono, and without holding any office in the BJP or Gujarat Government, Kishor was employed as a political strategist for BJP's pre-election campaign.[15] He was employed as the political strategist of Janata Dal (United) political party on 16 September 2018.[5]
Work as a political strategist
[ edit ]
In 2013, Kishor co-founded Citizens for Accountable Governance (CAG), a media and publicity company in preparation for the May 2014 general election of India, with Robbin Sharrma and others.[16] [17] [18] Kishor and his team were credited with formulating an innovative marketing and advertising campaign for Narendra Modi— the Chai Pe Charcha discussions,[19] 3D rallies, Run for Unity,[12] Manthan and several social media programmes.[20]
In 2015, Kishor and other CAG members regrouped as I-PAC to work with Nitish Kumar , in a bid to win a third term as Chief Minister in the 2015 Bihar Legislative Assembly election .[21] The claims were that Kishor dramatically influenced the strategy, resources and alliances for the campaign.[22] [23] Upon winning the Bihar elections, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar named Kishor as his advisor for planning and programme implementation, with a brief look for ways to implement the seven-point agenda that was promised during Kumar's election campaign.[24] [25] In 2020, Kishor was involved with the 2020 Bihar Legislative Assembly election .[26] [27]
In 2016 the Indian National Congress employed Kishor for the 2017 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election . However, these elections were a failure for Congress and Kishor as BJP won more than 300 seats and Congress could only manage 7 seats. This was also the first time Kishor failed to help a party win the elections.[28]
Kishor has successfully worked with several other political parties in India as well including Amarinder Singh for the 2017 Punjab Legislative Assembly election ,[29] [30] [31] Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for the 2019 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election ,[32] Arvind Kejriwal for the 2020 Delhi Legislative Assembly election ,[33] Mamata Banerjee for the 2021 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election ,[34] [35] and M. K. Stalin for the 2021 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election as well.[36]
Retirement from political strategy
[ edit ]
After the win of the AITC in the 2021 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election and DMK in the 2021 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election , Kishor declared that he was quitting as an election strategist.[37] In an interview with NDTV on 2 May 2021, Kishor told anchor Sreenivasan Jain on live TV, "I do not want to continue what I am doing. I have done enough. Time for me to take a break and do something else in life. I want to quit this space."[37]
Jan Suraaj
[ edit ]
A year later on 2 May 2022, Kishor hinted toward the formation of a political outfit of his own with a tweet that said that it was time to go to the "Real Masters, The People" and on the path of "Jan Suraaj-Peoples Good Governance"[38] —similar to his last recent campaign titled "Baat Bihar Ki". After his retirement from being a political strategist, Kishor has also mulled launching a political party from his home state, Bihar .[39] Kishor later on announced a 3,000 km Padyatra which would take place across Bihar , and would involve Kishor meeting with people from all across the state.[40] The "Padyatra" is taking place under his "Jan Suraaj Padyatra" campaign. One of the stated goals of the campaign is to form a political party, which he estimates would fight its first election in the 2025 Bihar Legislative Assembly.[41]
