Prashant Kishor
Prashant Kishor (born 1977)〔 is an Indian political strategist. He came to public attention when Citizens for Accountable Governance (CAG), an election-campaign group he founded, helped the Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) win an absolute majority in the 2014 Lok Sabha election. After he was reportedly sidelined by the new BJP president Amit Shah, Kishor disbanded CAG and started the Indian Political Action Committee (IPAC). As IPAC chief, he switched sides for the 2015 Bihar assembly election; working closely with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, a longtime rival of Modi, Kishor helped Kumar's "Grand Alliance" rout the BJP's alliance 178–58.〔Sankarshan Thakur. "(Backroom boy who changed the rules )". ''The Telegraph''. 9 November 2015.〕 On 19 November 2015, a few days after the Bihar victory, the ''Economic Times'' revealed that Kishor was in talk with the Indian National Congress, to run its campaign for the crucial Uttar Pradesh assembly election in 2017.〔Rohini Singh.

==Early life and career==
Prashant Kishor is a native of Ballia district in eastern Uttar Pradesh.〔Vasudha Venugopal. "(Prashant Kishor: Man pivot of PM Narendra Modi campaign in talks to help steer JD(U) in Bihar election )". ''The Economic Times''. 20 May 2015〕 He was born in 1977 to a doctor who worked in the neighbouring Bhojpur region of Bihar. Kishor began his career as a public-health activist, serving stints in Andhra Pradesh and Bihar. His work grabbed the attention of the World Health Organisation, who signed him up for a United Nations traineeship in the mid 2000s. According to the journalist Sankarshan Thakur, Kishor "rose swiftly up the rungs of the international health activism circuit."〔Sankarshan Thakur. "(Modi's ace versus Modi's ex-mace )". ''The Telegraph''. 23 July 2015.〕 While on a break in India, Kishor made his first connection with the Indian political establishment. In 2007, he met Rahul Gandhi, a general secretary in the Indian National Congress, and heir apparent to the party's leadership. Kishor pitched a "multi-pronged social-sector blueprint", while Gandhi preferred that the public-health advocate focus on his expertise, suggesting that Kishor help build a hospital in Gandhi's Amethi constituency. Unsatisfied with the scope of this offer, Kishor declined, and returned to the UN.〔
In 2010, the UN assigned Kishor to its aid mission in Chad, where he served as UNICEF's head of social policy and planning.〔〔Sruthijith K. K. "(Meet the nonprofit whose backroom work powered Modi to victory )". Scroll.in. 18 June 2014.〕 There he read a Planning Commission report about poor health indices in India's backward states, and wrote to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh saying even the country's richer states were faring poorly in public health. Kishor's report failed to make much of an impact in the Prime Minister's Office, but a copy sent to Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister of Gujarat, one of the prosperous states Kishor studied, proved more fruitful. Modi was struck by the findings, and following an interview in Gandhinagar around October 2011, hired Kishor as a social-sector policy advisor.〔
By December, Kishor was working directly out of Modi's official residence on a ''pro bono'' basis, and gained entry into the chief minister's inner circle. However he held no official position either in Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party or in the Gujarat government.〔Sruthijith K. K. "(Prashant Kishor: Meet the most trusted strategist in the Narendra Modi organisation )". ''The Economic Times''. 7 October 2013.〕 Although this he was initially roped in as a policy advisor, Kishor quickly went on to work on Modi's victorious campaign for the 2012 Gujarat assembly election. Thakur wrote in 2015 that how this change in brief came to happen "is history not entirely written yet".〔
