Poll strategist Prashant Kishor has predicted that the BJP will be at the centre of Indian politics and it is not going anywhere for the “next many decades”. He slammed Rahul Gandhi for thinking that people will throw the ruling party away.
“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,” he said during his recent visit to Goa. He is lobbying for the Trinamool Congress (TMC) for the upcoming Goa Assembly elections.
“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 (PM Narendra) Modi,” he added.
Dismissing Rahul Gandhi’s optimism, he said, “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.”
He said that Modi may be thrown away but the BJP is not going anywhere.
The BJP’s Ajay Sehrawat is among those who have tweeted the clip. “Eventually, Prashant Kishor acknowledged that BJP will continue to be a force to reckon with in Indian politics for decades to come. That’s what Amit Shah Ji declared way too earlier,” he wrote.
