Kishor (left) and Babbar Sept. 4: Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Raj Babbar today described party poll strategist Prashant Kishor as "merely a sound-recordist", becoming a rare Congress politician to openly slight a man seen as a Rahul Gandhi appointee. "He (Kishor) is merely a sound recordist. He is not my leader: my leader is Rahul Gandhi," the Bollywod actor turned politician told ABP News. Congress circles are eagerly watching whether Babbar - believed to be close to Rahul, Ahmad Patel and Digvijaya Singh - gets away with his barb. This includes an indirect role in sending Sanjay Gandhi to jail.
