What’s behind poll wizard Prashant Kishor’s latest statements against Rahul Gandhi? Prashant Kishor is helping the Congress Party in Punjab, Karnataka and UP even now. He is also being consulted at various levels. He still continues to meet the top leaders of the Congress. But on the issue of leading the fight against the BJP, he seems to be critical of the Congress leadership, especially Rahul Gandhi.
On Thursday, he said that the BJP was here to stay for another 30-40 days and added that Rahul Gandhi was unable to understand this. He said that the Congress has several problems at the grassroots level. Many saw this has his estrangement with the Congress Party. But, those in the know say that this is Prashant Kishor’s way of pushing BJP into complacency.
They point out that he had done the same thing before the West Bengal assembly election. He used social media app Clubhouse to send out false messages that said that the BJP was going to win the elections. Many BJP leaders believed this and were lulled into complacency. The actual mood of the voter was concealed by Prashant Kishor. It is trying to the same this time too? Those in the know say this statement could be Prashant Kishor’s ruse.
Prashant Kishor may not join the Congress, but will continue to advise the Congress Party. Sources say that Prashant Kishor’s team is already trying to identify women’s issues that could be raised during the upcoming elections in Karnataka.
