Political Strategist Prashant Kishor will officially start working with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee after one month.

Banerjee, who is still smarting from losing ground to the BJP in the Lok Sabha polls, today met with the strategist Prashant Kishor, whose latest success is Jagan Mohan Reddy's victory in Andhra Pradesh.

After a two-hour meeting in Kolkata, Mamata Banerjee has signed up for Prashant Kishor's election-winning package.

Trinamool Congress has nosedived from 34 to 22 seats in 42-seat Bengal in the parliamentary election. The BJP, which had two, shot up to 18 seats, establishing its growing base in the state.

Prashant Kishor is credited with YSR Congress chief Jagan Reddy's sweep in Andhra Pradesh, where the incumbent Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu's party was voted out of power.
