"If You Keep Dropping Catches": Prashant Kishor's Jab At Opposition

Prashant Kishor, though said that that the opposition had three distinct and realistic chances of stopping the BJP juggernaut.

Validating the BJP's claims, political strategist Prashant Kishor said the ruling party will add significantly to its seats and vote share in south and east India, the two regions where its hold is weak-to-non-existent, barring Karnataka.

In an interaction with PTI editors, Mr Kishor also said despite the BJP's apparent dominance, neither the party nor Prime Minister Narendra Modi is invincible, pointing out that the opposition had three distinct and realistic chances of stopping the BJP juggernaut but frittered away the opportunities because of laziness and misplaced strategies.

"They (BJP) will either be first or second party in Telangana which is a big thing. They will be number one in Odisha for sure. You would be surprised as, in all likelihood, to my mind, the BJP is going to be the number one party in West Bengal," he said. In Tamil Nadu he said, BJP's vote share may hit double-digit percentage.
