Dehradun: Strategist Prashant Kishor who has been roped in by Congress for the Uttarakhand polls met state party chief Kishore Upadhyay, even as Chief Minister Harish Rawat said his involvement will act as a “tonic” for them.
“Kishor is like Chyawanprash,” Harish Rawat told reporters here, adding that, “people resort to such tonics as they age”.
The party has given the responsibility of coordinating with Prashant Kishor to the party’s state secretary Vinod Chauhan under the leadership of state party vice-president Jot Singh Bisht, Upadhyay said.
He said the strategy of the party will now have an edge and added that Mr Kishor is providing his services to the party.
