Poll strategist-turned-activist Prashant Kishor has hit back at his detractors for criticizing his assessment of the impending Lok Sabha election results, saying they “must keep plenty of water handy” on June 4, the day of counting.
In a post on social media, Kishor said, “Drinking water is good as it keeps both mind and body hydrated. Those who are RATTLED with my assessment of outcome of this election must keep plenty of water handy on June 4th.”
Kishor has been asserting that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is likely to repeat or even surpass its tally from the 2019 general elections.
When asked how many seats he expects BJP to win, Kishor said, “With whatever observation and experience I have in this domain, I do not see BJP's number going down materially from where it was in 2019.”
“More or less the number which they had in 2019 I see a repeat of that or maybe it will get even better.'”
Kishor also claimed that the Congress party can't reach the three figures mark in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
“Where they will be I do not know but I do not see Congress getting 100. Because if Congress is getting 100 then BJP is not getting 300, as simple as this.”
Kishor’s prediction is based on his assessment of the current political landscape in India. He believes that the BJP has a strong lead over the opposition parties and that the Congress is in a weak position. He also believes that the BJP will be able to capitalize on the division within the opposition to win the election.
However, Kishor’s prediction is not without its critics. Some analysts believe that he is underestimating the strength of the opposition and that the BJP may not be able to repeat its performance from 2019.
Only time will tell who is right. But Kishor’s prediction is sure to add to the excitement of the upcoming Lok Sabha election.
