New Delhi. Electoral strategist Prashant Kishor tried to go with the Congress, but it did not happen. He had earlier said on this that the role the Congress was giving was not pleasing to him. Now just before the Congress’s Chintan Shivir in Udaipur, Rajasthan, Prashant Kishor has made a strong attack on the party. Talking to the English newspaper ‘Indian Express’, Prashant Kishor alias PK said that the Congress does not know how to be in the opposition and its leaders believe that the people themselves will remove the government from power and they will get a chance to form the government.
PK also said that Congress leaders think that what do you know, we know better than you, know everything and have been in the government for a long time. Prashant said that Congress is the main opposition party of the country and has been in government for decades. He said that Congress will have to learn how to live in opposition. He said that Congressmen cannot escape by saying that the media does not cover them. Actually, the leaders of the party have got used to being in power. People no longer listen to them and because of this they get annoyed. The election strategist also said that at present no one party alone can take on the BJP. He said that from 1950 to 1990 no single party was able to compete with the Congress. In the coming time also, PK considered BJP only.
PK said that Emergency, Bofors, Mandal movement, Ram Mandir movement and Anna’s movement continuously reduced the vote of Congress. The party did not even try properly to regain it. PK said that the public has to be told that we are fighting continuously. He also said on a question that if you are associated with the public, then there is no need for a charismatic face. He gave examples of this as PM Narendra Modi, Mamta Banerjee and Captain Amarinder Singh.
