BJP Will Be At Centre Of Indian Politics For Decades, Problem Lies With Rahul Gandhi: Prashant Kishor

Kishor said the BJP would remain at the centre of Indian politics for years to come, whether it wins or loses.

New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will continue to be a force to reckon with in Indian politics for decades to come, predicted poll strategist Prashant Kishor.

"BJP would remain at the center of Indian politics for years to come," Prashant Kishor said as a video clip of him addressing a private meeting in Goa has gone viral.

PTI reports, a senior leader of the Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC), a group led by Kishor, confirmed that the video was from a private meeting held on Wednesday in Goa.

“The BJP is going to be the center of Indian polity... whether they win, whether they lose like it was for the first 40 years for Congress. The BJP is going nowhere. Once you secure 30 percent plus votes at the India level you are not going away in a hurry,” said Kishor while addressing a private meeting in Goa.

“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,” he added in a clip from a recent Q and A session shared on social media.

The poll strategist also hit out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.

“That is where the problem lies with Rahul Gandhi. Probably, he thinks that it is just a matter of time when people will throw him (Narendra Modi) away. That's not happening,” he said.

BJP leader Ajay Sehrawat, who tweeted the clip of the poll strategist’s interaction in Goa, wrote: “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.”

The poll strategist is currently in Goa and helping West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) to establish its political foothold to contest the upcoming polls.
