Kishor’s past track record of successful strategies for Opposition leaders might also come as a bigger challenge this time for the BJP, which is expected to go solo in the elections next year after a fall out with long-term ally in the state – the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) – over the three farm laws. Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal even resigned from the Narendra Modi Cabinet.

Kishor has also been associated with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), ahead of the 2020 Delhi Assembly elections, which were swept by the party. However, AAP being one of Congress’ main rivals in Punjab, Kishor seems to have chosen his side at least for the Punjab elections.

According to The Tribune, Kishor’s team is said to have carried out assessment surveys in the state, following which he is learnt to have told the Congress government to fulfil the nine key promises made ahead of the 2017 Assembly elections.
