Hours after poll strategist Prashant Kishor declined to join the Congress, party leader and former MP Milind Deora posted a cryptic tweet. Taking to Twitter, Milind Deora tweeted a lyric from renowned singer Bob Dylan's song Subterranean Homesick Blues. "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows", tweeted Deora, possibly pointing toward the situation of the Congress party.

It should be noted that this also comes after Prashant Kishor declined the Congress party's offer and has refused to join it ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Some have linked Deora's tweet with the grand old party as it has faced setbacks in recent times. 

Many online appear to have also confused the lyric with the other Bob Dylan song about the wind blowing - ‘Blowin’ In The Wind’, which has numerous references to ‘How many times must…’ which some interpret to the Congress being unwilling to change, though ‘Subterranean Homesick Blues’ is also known to refer to a state of leader-less chaos.

Prashant Kishor dumps Congress ahead of 2024 Lok Sabha elections 

After refusing to join the Congress, poll strategist Prashant Kishor on Tuesday remarked that the party needs "leadership and collective will" to fix deep-rooted structural problems within it through transformational reforms. He also revealed that he declined the grand old party's offer.

"I declined the generous offer of Congress to join the party as part of the Empowered Action Group (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," tweeted Prashant Kishor  

This massive political development comes as Kishor has held several meetings in the last 15 days with the Congress top brass. He had also given a proposal to revamp the party ahead of the 2024 general election along with a detailed presentation that outlined a road map for the 2024 General elections.

"People looking for a quick, spontaneous revival of GOP-led opposition based on the Lakhimpur Kheri incident are setting themselves up for a big disappointment. Unfortunately, there are no quick-fix solutions to the deep-rooted problems and structural weakness of GOP," Kishor had said in another tweet following the Lakhimpur Kheri incident
