The move comes after his group, the Indian Political Action Committee, put out a denial on Twitter, saying they were “not involved in any state election campaign”.
Kishor confirming the news, said, “Yes, I am doing the campaign strategy for Captain Amarinder Singh and the decision was taken after a series of meetings with him.”
The strategist is expected to visit Punjab for 2-3 days in mid-February for an early assessment.
The Congress has been out of power in Punjab for the last nine years, having been defeated twice by the ruling Akali-Bharatiya Janata Party combine. Assembly elections in the state will be held in 2017.
