Congress leader Randeep Surjewala took to Twitter to announce that the party had a discussion with Kishor after he gave a presentation on how to revive the party. Subsequently, Sonia Gandhi, the party president, had constituted an “Empowered Action Group 2024” for 2024 general elections and also invited him to join the party with a defined role and responsibility. However, Kishor has declined the offer, he said.

He had also suggested the party gets standup comedians on board to utilise their channels for propaganda.
