Surjewala evaded media questions about the induction of Prashant Kishor in the Congress party. Prashant Kishor – who claims to be an election strategist – has been trying fervently to join Congress. However, after multiple meetings with him, the Congress top brass has not taken any decision about him.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha election, Congress could win only 52 seats in the 543-member lower house of India’s bicameral Parliament. With 353 seats (Members of Parliament or MPs), the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) group led by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), formed the Union Government, with Narendra Modi becoming the Prime Minister (PM) of India.
