Prashant Kishor does not attend TMC Martyrs' Day rally

Despite speculations that poll strategist Prashant Kishor would attend the Trinamool Congress' Martyrs' Day rally today, he gave it a miss.

The media had been rife with speculations that Mr Kishor, also a senior functionary of the BJP's alliance partner Janata Dal (United), would attend the rally.

"Prashant Kishor did not attend the rally. He was nowhere near the dias. It was media speculation (that he would attend the rally). There is not an iota of truth in it," said a senior TMC leader.
