Can anyone trust psephologist Prashant Kishor

Psephologist PK cannot be trusted. Former election strategist Prashant Kishor (PK) has once again stirred controversy with his comments on Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan. PK, known for his blunt remarks, predicted that Jagan might struggle to secure victory in the upcoming elections. These comments, made during an interview with PTI editors in Hyderabad, have gone viral.

PK criticized Jagan's tenure, alleging that little progress had been made aside from the distribution of government funds. He claimed that Jagan had failed to address the aspirations of the people and focused solely on money transfers rather than job creation or development.

Drawing a historical parallel, PK likened Jagan's actions to those of ancient emperors who distributed wealth on special occasions but asserted that such gestures do not necessarily translate into votes. He suggested that Jagan's administration lacked substantive achievements and could face electoral consequences as a result.

Responding to mentions of YS Sharmila and Sunita, PK claimed ignorance about their influence but acknowledged their potential impact. Additionally, PK shared his insights on the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) electoral prospects, predicting a significant victory with over 300 seats in the Lok Sabha elections. He also forecasted the BJP's success in states like Telangana, Odisha, West Bengal, and Tamil Nadu, where he anticipated double-digit vote percentages for the party.

PK's remarks have fueled speculation about the future political landscape in Andhra Pradesh and beyond, highlighting the potential challenges facing Jagan's administration and the BJP's growing presence in various states.
