Kolkata: Known for making the parties win elections, political strategist Prashant Kishor, on Thursday, met West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Speculations of him working for the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in near future have been doings the rounds now.

The saffron party won 18 out of a total of 42 Lok Sabha seats in West Bengal, only four less than the ruling TMC, in the recently concluded general election.
