According to report, the party’s top leadership is considering the induction of Kumar but no final decision has been taken yet.
Kumar’s possible induction into the Congress comes at a time when the national party is looking to reinvigorate itself with fresh and young faces as it looks at 2024.
Notably, speculation has been rife also about election strategist Prashant Kishor joining the Congress party.
Kishor has already met the top Congress leadership.
Meanwhile, Kanhaiya Kumar, in political circles, is seen as a crowd puller, especially among the youth.
