Nitish Kumar's poll campaign designer, appointed CM's adviser
Reports said Kishor will be charged with overseeing the implementation of what is called the "7 nishchay (resolve)" - promises that the chief minister made to the state while seeking another term.He will now be ranked equal to a cabinet minister.
Kishor, 37, had first shot to fame as the man who designed some of the most successful elements of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's national election campaign, including the "chai pe charcha" or a discussion over tea and 3D hologram rallies.
Later, he began managing the campaign of Nitish Kumar, who had broken away from the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance to turn into a sharp critic of the PM.
He has recently confirmed that he is now headed to help craft the campaign of the Congress' Amrinder Singh, who seeks to lead his party to a comeback in assembly elections in Punjab next year.
Prashant Kishor quit a United Nation health expert's job in Africa and returned to India in 2011. His group, the Indian Political Action Committee or I-PAC, features mostly MBAs and Ivy League and IIT graduates.
