Prashant Kishor on Narendra Modi: Election strategist Prashant Kishore (PK) parted ways with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014 for a special reason. While disclosing this, he has said that at that time there was no agreement between the two sides regarding the special professional setups or models proposed for elections and governance. Whatever Narendra Modi had agreed to before the elections, he could not fulfill it after becoming PM. This was the reason why PK had parted ways. Prashant Kishore, who hails from Arrah, Bihar, told these things in a recent interview given to Hindi news channel âIndia TVâ. During this time, he also made it clear that after Narendra Modi won the elections and became the PM, he (PK) neither wanted direct entry in the Prime Ministerâs Office (PMO) nor did he have any quarrel with Union Minister Amit Shah.
Explaining the real reason behind parting ways with Narendra Modi, PK said, âBefore the elections, it was decided that a professional setup would be created to make the election process more effective. This will be a kind of parallel system. Exactly like this.â After winning the elections, there was talk of making another system at the governance level. This model was made after studying the models of big and successful countries of the world and there was talk of making a lateral entry system. With Narendra Modi. Both these things were agreed upon after sitting. Its name was also decided then.â
They were delaying, I asked- whatâs the problem?: PK
The election strategist further said, âWhen Narendra Modi became PM, the basic facts of the parallel system were discussed for 2-3 months. It is my fault, I was wondering why it was taking more time. He said that The government has just been formed and there are already a lot of problems. I thought at his point that he must have taken advice from someone on this issue. He said that if such a big decision is taken now, the entire bureaucracy will start opposing it. He They wanted more time, while I said that even when arrangements were being made for the campaign in the party, there was opposition. Still, you made it⌠In such a situation, when you have come to the government, then what is the problem in bringing it? âThere will never be a consensus in the government like this. In such a situation, I decided that I will make a different effort.â
âLater confessed â wanted to implement but couldnâtâŚâ
PK told that he had formally spoken to Narendra Modi in November 2014 and he then informed the PM that he wanted to help Nitish Kumar in Bihar. However, on the question related to the mistake in this regard, he said, âI never feel remorse about things in life. I met him (Narendra Modi) after a few years and there was a discussion during that time. We agreed during that time that At that time I was in a hurry and from his side it was said that he wanted to implement that arrangement but he could not do so. Then the matter ended there. He is going according to his own will and I also have my own life. .â
Are there plans to work further with PM Modi?
When asked whether he has any plans to work further with PM Modi? On this question PK replied bluntly â No sir! What is needed now? Now he is PM. They donât even need people like us. There is no point in working together further. Our path is different now. I have chosen the path to Bihar and live there.
âModi will neither remain a leader nor be able to face the public.â
While explaining the strong side of Rahul Gandhi of Congress, Prashank Kishore also claimed that we can compare that if Narendra Modi loses 90 percent of the elections in 10 years, then even after having full strength, neither will he be a leader. Neither will he be able to face the public nor will he be able to face the public, whereas the Congress MP (Rahul) from Wayanad, Kerala, despite losing 90 percent of the elections in 10 years, still believes that he is on the right path.
âŚSo 4 pillars are the life of âModi-Shahâs BJPâ!
Election strategist PK considers BJP very special for four reasons. According to him, these factors include 1- ideology of Hindutva, 2- spirit of new nationalism (after 2014), 3- direct beneficiary model (toilets, grains, Jan Dhan bank account, installments to farmers and drinking water) and 4- organizational and economic. Power is involved.
PK stayed at Modiâs residence when he was CM.
Narendra Modi He also stayed at his house during his tenure as Gujarat CM. When asked about this in the interview, PK said, âThe house was his and the decision on whether to keep someone or notâŚit was also his. He trusted me then and gave me an opportunity while working together. I Even then, whatever I could do for them with complete honesty, I did.â
