Prashant Kishor, the man who put together Nitish Kumars campaign strategy for the Grand Alliance (Mahagathbandhan), in a professionally slick and agile package, has been getting calls from West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee.


West Bengal is due for polls next year and the Chief Minister has approached Kishor, the strategist who has two massive election victories in his bag.


While Kishor is yet to decide whether he will make a serious political intervention in Bihar or will continue to be a professional running the Indian Political Action Committee(I-Pac), has to remember that Lalu Prasad Yadav who is likely to play big brother in the Bihar assembly may not want him to continue as a strategist.


Kishor was hugged and feted publicly by Nitish Kumar as the result began pouring in indicating a big victory for the Grand Alliance. But Lalu Prasad took a light swat at Kishor when it seemed from the postal ballots that the BJP was winning. He called Kishor and said: tension not(sic). The import of Prasads mocking reference was that Kishor may think he contributed to the victory but he should leave politics to the politicians.
