Prashant Kishor On Assembly Elections: Amid criticism over "super-spreader rallies" in these states, major political parties have pared down their campaign and have been cancelling rallies and public events.

As Omicron sweeps through the country, driving an unprecedented surge in cases, poll strategist Prashant Kishor recommended what he called the "only safe way" to hold the five state elections due in February-March. EC MUST insist on 2 vaccine doses for at least 80% people in poll bound states.This is the only SAFE way to hold #elections in the midst of a raging pandemic. Rest everything is HOGWASH. The notion of guidelines for #Covid appropriate behaviour which no one follows is FARCICAL.

The Election Commission, which has yet to announce the election dates, was briefed by the centre yesterday on the status of Covid cases and vaccinations in the states- Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur. It reportedly asked for stronger vaccination coverage in the states.

"EC MUST insist on two vaccine doses for at least 80% people in poll-bound states. This is the only SAFE way to hold elections in the midst of a raging pandemic. Rest everything is HOGWASH. The notion of guidelines for Covid appropriate behaviour, which no one follows, is FARCICAL," Prashant Kishore tweeted.
