Political strategist Prashant Kishor has set off a buzz, indicating in a tweet that he was looking for a fresh political start in Bihar. "My quest to be a meaningful participant in democracy and help shape pro-people policy led to a 10 year rollercoaster ride! As I turn the page, time to go to the real masters, the people, to better understand the issues and the path to good governance. Starting from Bihar," he wrote.

Kishor had been engaged by Mamata Banerjee's TMC in West Bengal, as well as Nitish Kumar's JD(U) in Bihar for election management. Both parties won big in the polls. Kishor later tried to join the Congress, but the talks hit a dead end.
Multiple reports quoted sources to claim that Kishor could announce the launch of a new political outfit from Bihar, in conjunction with other political parties.
Kishor had, last week, declined the Congress's offer to join it and evolve its poll strategy and said more than him, the party needs leadership and collective will to fix deep-rooted structural problems by carring out transformational reforms. Kishor was asked by Congress president Sonia Gandhi to join the party and be a part of the Empowered Action Group-2024 and take care of its election strategy for upcoming polls.
Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said Kishor declined the offer, adding the party appreciates his efforts and suggestions. The reason behind Kishor not joining the Congress is his company I-PAC's tie-up with Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) for assembly polls in Telangana which was viewed as 'conflict of interest' by the party leadership. Within a few minutes of the Congress saying that Kishor has declined its offer, he took to Twitter and said the party needs a collective will to fix deep-rooted structural problems through reforms. "I declined the generous offer of Congress to join the party as part of the EAG and take responsibility for the elections. In my humble opinion, more than me the party needs leadership and collective will to fix the deep rooted structural problems through transformational reforms," Kishor said in a tweet.
