Such a joy to listen
Very enlightened Prashant ji
And also Shekhar ji
It does good to the country

[shejwalkarhemant]

The fact is Congress never had any specific agenda to offer, ever... and now without power it's become even more rudderless. The truth is it has always been a "settlement" type of political party. Haawa dekh ke rukh badlo types.

[KarthikS]

Prashant Kishor has got so much media spotlight in past 2 weeks.

Elections not only elect govt and opposition, they are also a source of money for PK

[artis]

PK is a great horse but he was used to the maximum in 2014.. Then left out.. Prashant did a good job in WB elections. But still Amit Shah brought BJP from 2 to 75 seats.. The only wrong BJP did in WB was the selection of its candidates and insulting the Rohingya Didi . Be Rohingya BJP shouldnt have attacked a women on moral grounds... And yes I believe BJP should treat TMC the same way it got treated in WB by Didi's goons when Didi comes to BJP states to do rallies.. Eye for an eye..

😄😄Is not the INC a national party with notional presence. Its presence restricted to states like Kerala from where alone they can get the MPs, while the Pradesh congress in these states remain to have notional presence in the states, with not much of MLAs to rule the state, but with a national outlook 😄😄. How to name this phenomenon.?

[shivajipatil]

In a nutshell...Either Gandhi's leave the Congress party or Congress itself leaves the political space to other opposition parties...

[ArjitChauhan]

Prashant Kishor makes the point very clear and i think the same. Congress Party needs to change its model and work more on the ground level rather than just spending money or selecting the same losing candidate again and again.

[ericbanasea]

Ms Pande is a pretty lady and unfortunately in this interview she seems to be focusing only on that. Remember that you are a journalist and it's more important to do journalism than to look at the camera a dozen times.

[tsgopalakrishnan]

Interim president for the winding up of party which can't hold its flag fly high on its on mast??

[youtuberboy]

Because of Gandhi family the prominent leader's leave the party. NCP and TMC president are the big example.

[soundar]

I don't think people will give 3rd term to BJP.
Either hung parliament or Congress coalition might form the government.
Modi escaped 2019 with Pulwama attack sentiment. The same Pakistan strategy will not work again Unemployment & price rise will be enough to end MODI

[bababundela]

Baatcheet dekh kar bahut thand lag rahi hai

[pritammishra]

Mr pk interview subtly shows him as tmc spokesperson...

[amolrathod]

Congress ko prashant kishor ne kahi bato par sochana hoga...

[pramodkulkarni]

Prashankishore says the philosophy of congress is formidable .
Request him to eloneraye.
Pappu has washed it with his stupid childish arrogant talk
Other leaders too have not been able to articulate what is this

[karnnana]

Congress Party Zindabad.
Vadhera zindabad.
His children zindabad.
and their puppy and cat zindabad
I like slavery.
slavery to a family
who robbed even Mahatmas name
Gandhi

[karnnana]

congress has grassroot voters. But leaders only from Nehru family. Experimented with Sonia, Rahul and Priyanka. Now, we can expect Vadhera and his kids.
