New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday announced that he is working together with political strategist Prashant Kishor's I-PAC for 2020 elections.
“Happy to share that @indianpac is coming on-board with us. Welcome aboard!” Kejriwal tweeted on Saturday morning.
Polls to the 70-member Assembly are likely to held early next year with the contentious National Register of Citizens (NRC), air pollution, women’s safety, and statehood demand for Delhi likely to dominate the election narrative.
Kishor has earlier successfully managed the election campaigns of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in 2015 and Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh in 2017.
He also led YSRCP to a landslide victory in Andhra Pradesh during the 2019 Assembly polls. However, the political strategist's association with the Congress for the 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections could not ensure a win for the party which faced a disastrous defeat with the BJP winning a three-fourth majority.
Kishor, who is currently working with Mamata Banerjee and TMC in West Bengal, has also reportedly worked with Shiv Sena in the recently concluded Maharashtra Assembly polls.
