Birds from Lucknow tell us that the so-called poll Machiavelli Prashant Kishor recently met former UP CM Akhilesh Yadav. He told Akhilesh that there is no point in splitting hairs over the lost elections in UP. “So I suggest instead of all that, you get me a large sum of money,” and the amount was huge, “and I will see to it that you reach the PM’s seat in the 2019 polls.” Already furious with the strategist, Akhilesh turned around and asked with clear sarcasm: “And where has Rahul reached this time with your help? You had promised the moon to him as well. So it is better that you find some other people to make a fool out of!” Kishor turned pale at this.
