Election strategist Prashant Kishor's latest truth bombs served more proof of the complete collapse of his talks with the Congress and the Gandhis.
The BJP is not going anywhere for "many decades" and the problem with Rahul Gandhi is that he does not realise it, poll strategist Prashant Kishor said in Goa on Wednesday. His latest truth bombs served more proof of the complete collapse of his talks with the Congress and the Gandhis.
At a recent Q and A session filmed by an audience member and shared on social media, Prashant Kishor said the BJP would remain at the centre of Indian politics for year to come, whether it wins or loses, just like it was for the Congress in the first 40 years after independence.
"BJP is going to be the centre of Indian polity... whether they win, whether they lose, like it was for the first 40 years for Congress. BJP is going nowhere. Once you secure 30 per cent plus votes at the India-level you are not going away in a hurry. So do not ever get into this trap that people are getting angry and they will throw away (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi. Maybe they will throw away Modi but BJP is not going anywhere. They are going to be here, they are to fight it out for the next many decades. It's not going in a hurry," Mr Kishor told his audience.
"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.
