New
Delhi,
Apr
26:
Former
Punjab
Congress
president
Navjot
Singh
Sidhu
on
Tuesday
shared
an
image
with
the
election
strategist,
calling
him
an
‘old
friend’.

“Had
a
wonderful
meeting
with
my
old
friend
PK
…
Old
wine,
Old
gold
&
Old
friends
still
the
best
!!!”,
he
posted.

Earlier,
Kishor
declined
the
Congress
offer
to
join
the
party
and
evolve
its
poll
strategy
and
said
more
than
him,
the
party
needs
leadership
and
collective
will
to
fix
deep-rooted
structural
problems
through
transformational
reforms.

Kishor
was
asked
by
Congress
president
Sonia
Gandhi
to
join
the
party
and
be
a
part
of
the
Empowered
Action
Group-2024
and
take
care
of
its
election
strategy
for
upcoming
polls.

Kishor
had
made
a
detailed
presentation
before
top
Congress
leaders,
which
was
discussed
at
length
by
senior
leadership
of
the
party,
after
which
an
offer
was
made
to
him.

Within
a
few
minutes
of
the
Congress
saying
that
Kishor
has
declined
the
offer,
he
took
to
Twitter
and
said
the
party
needs
a
collective
will
to
fix
deep-rooted
structural
problems
through
reforms.

“I
declined
the
generous
offer
of
Congress
to
join
the
party
as
part
of
the
EAG
and
take
responsibility
for
the
elections.
In
my
humble
opinion,
more
than
me
the
party
needs
leadership
and
collective
will
to
fix
the
deep
rooted
structural
problems
through
transformational
reforms,”
Kishor
said
in
a
tweet.

Kishor
was
keen
to
join
the
Congress
and
had
desired
to
do
so
without
any
expectations.
He
had
also
made
a
presentation
to
the
party
on
which
its
top
leaders
deliberated
upon
during
the
last
week.
