Issue discussed: How to defeat BJP?
Final verdict: Can't happen in this election.

4:32 Offf the pain in her "Whyyyy" when he says Congress hasn't been able to secure absolute majority since 1984.

[manassurya]

Why is BBC so concerned for Congress? Let India's people choose.

[neoflying]

Even I am bjp supporter.. always good to listen Prashant ..

[sukantpanigrahi]

No matter who asks PK questions or with what ideology, he always gives crisp and honest answers. I know many people have an issue with him turning everything into stats but data is always useful with some context and pulse of the people. I respect his views, he speaks as a professional when it comes to election commentary. As a politician he will do politics but he speaks from a good position when its about broader topics like these.

[SrikantSunkara]

Looks like the interviewer feels like she is a congress agent. Great answers and analysis by Prashant Kishor.

[Dogmatix-]

Congress has lived way beyond their expiry date.

[muraleedharanpaloran]

Mr Kishore has nailed it.
1. Under the present leadership Congress has no chance.
2. "India" alliance is too little little too late.

[familykalappurackal]

It is dangerous to have a single party nation.... i hope people wakes up to the reality...

[rajk]

The bbc is heavily invested in seeing congress win.

[rockhard]

BBC is too amateur in front of prashant kishor's political knowledge 😂😂

[sk]

Congress is still a good party, provided they get out of Gandhi dynasty..wake up congress people, this is not monarchy!! There is no incentive for new people to join congress coz it's ruled by one family

[cryolark]

Prashant's political acumen is poetry in motion. Amazing

[soundsofmystic]

I appreciate your work Prasanth’s Kishore but when comparing congress at its peak there were no major political parties at national so comparing would be comparing apples and potatoes

[nitt]

In more than 50 interviews he has repeated same thing.. Tired of same lines.

[pattheegreat]

Ofc anything from BBC had to be all about Congress

[srinivasgupta]

How sad she is looking when PK says its difficult to defeat bjp?😅😅
Thats BBC surprise 😅

[rahulynot]

How is Mr. Kishor pointing out 4 reasons for Mr. Modi's dominance but completely ignoring the strengthened national security, sanitation and hygiene improvements, infrastructure development and foreign policy successes that he has achieved?

As an Indian, I can clearly see the difference in how much punctual and cleaner our railways have become. Better roads and electricity has reached even the remotest part of the country. Terrorist attacks are no longer an accepted phenomena and social justice is much more accessible than ever before. Indians are not stupid to vote based on some mere ideology. They are voting for the one who is actually bringing a positive change.

[jitendratiwari]

Rahul Gandhi is the star campaigner of Mr. Modi.

[deadpool]

Everything he says is accurate. Facts. This guy is a genius
