Election strategist Prashant Kishor meets Mamata

Prashant Kishor and his India Political Action Committee team have now teamed up with Mamata Banerjee to regain Trinamool Congress' lost ground in the state of West Bengal.  Assembly elections are due in 2021 in the state where BJP recently won 18 of the 42 Lok Sabha seats.

The meeting between Mamata Banerjee and Prashant Kishor lasted for about 1.5 hours in Kolkata and both will now work together to ensure the BJP doesn't emerge as a potent force. Kishor, however, would continue to remain Vice-president of Janata Dal United, a party he had joined last year.
