Election strategist Prashant Kishor believes that success in life does not mean winning money, name or power, but also what you can contribute to bring happiness in people’s lives. He said, “Like all common people, I am also a common man, but the meaning of success for me depends on how much the common people are influenced by me and my work. You don’t need any charismatic personality but you must have the thought of doing charisma in people’s life.”
In the Indian Express program “e-Adda”, he said that I do not think of anything extraordinary, but want to do better and progressive work for the people. He said that he is influenced by Mahatma Gandhi and LK Advani. The work of both the leaders reflects what is the meaning of success for me.
He said that before the elections in India every leader says that he and his party are going to win with a huge majority, but after losing the election they say that I lost because I could not reach among the people, about me People had made a wrong impression. I was absolutely winning that later everything started becoming Hindu-Muslim. Because of this I lost.
Prashant Kishor said that it would be wrong to say that only Hindu-Muslim is deciding victory or defeat for someone. He told that suppose everyone gets polarized and everyone gets saffronised, but still BJP got 38 percent votes. Giving the example of UP, he said that there are 80 percent Hindus and 20 percent are minorities. Half the people go to vote, BJP is the winning party there. BJP got 38 percent votes. If polarization happened then all the votes should have gone to BJP. But the BJP could get less than half the votes.
Therefore, to say that victory has been lost due to polarization is not correct. This is definitely a cause, which has an effect. Said that the modalities of Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha elections are different. Sub-regionalism prevails in the elections of the states. In Bihar elections it was shown that only a Bihari should rule Bihar. Whereas Hindutva, nationalism, beneficiary and to what extent you got benefit in the election of center showed its impact.
