Riding high on his second consecutive success in February 2015, this time marketing Nitish Kumar in Bihar, Prashant Kishor, or PK, was the cynosure of all eyes. PK came full circle when he returned to Rahul Gandhi, who entrusted him with raising the party’s fortunes in UP and Punjab. But there is already heartburn at Congress headquarters, where it is believed he has relegated party office bearers to naught. Even Congress leaders confide that PK couldn’t have helped Modi and later Nitish, if they had not proved worth as leaders. They say over the same period, successful Arvind Kejriwals, Mamata Banerjees, and Jayalalithaas didn’t need a PK.
