According to poll strategist Prashant Kishor, the BJP will not go away for “many decades,” and Rahul Gandhi’s problem is that he doesn’t realize it, said Kishor on Wednesday in Goa.
Prashant Kishor stated the BJP would remain at the center of Indian politics for years to come, whether it wins or loses, just as the Congress did in the first 40 years following independence, in a snippet from a recent video circulating on social media in which he was seen fielding questions.
“BJP will be at the heart of Indian politics, whether they win or lose, just as Congress was for the first 40 years. The BJP isn’t going anywhere. When you get 30 percent or more of the vote in India, you’re not going anywhere fast. So don’t fall into the trap of people becoming enraged and throwing (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi out. Modi may be thrown out, but the BJP is not going anywhere. They’ll be here for a long time, and they’ll fight it out for decades. It’s not moving quickly, “Mr. Kishor told the crowd.
“That is where the problem lies with Rahul Gandhi probably. He thinks it’s just a matter of time that people will throw him away. That’s not happening,” he commented.
“You will never be able to put (in place) a counter to fight him until you investigate, understand, and take cognizance of (PM Modi’s) strength,” he said.
Mr. Kishor is in Goa to assist Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress, which has stated its intention to participate in the state elections next year.
Ajay Sehrawat of the BJP is among those who have tweeted the video. “Prashant Kishor eventually admitted that the BJP will be a force to be reckoned with in Indian politics for decades to come. That’s what Amit Shah Ji said a long time ago “he penned
