Prashant Kishor taking people for a ride

Prashant Kishor taking people for a ride. Prashant Kishor, the political strategist who rose to prominence for his successful campaigns, is now facing growing criticism for his perceived silence on certain issues and his seemingly shifting loyalties.

While Kishor was lauded for his role in YCP's 2019 victory in Andhra Pradesh, his perceived lack of support for the party in the 2024 elections has led to accusations of him being responsible for their current struggles.  YCP members are openly criticizing Kishor, even going as far as blaming his absence for their decline in popularity.

Kishor, who built a reputation for his 90% success rate with various political parties through his organization, IPAC, is now facing questions about his silence on certain political matters.  While he was instrumental in strategizing Modi's 2014 victory using the "Gujarat Model," he has remained quiet on its actual implementation and the lack of concrete results.

Similarly, Kishor has remained mum on the 2016 demonetization, a controversial move that caused widespread disruption, and on the politically charged arrests of key opposition leaders by agencies like CBI and ED.

His critics also point to his silence on Modi's unfulfilled promise of two crore jobs per year and his consistent attacks on the opposition, like Rahul Gandhi and Jagan, while remaining largely supportive of the BJP.

His recent advice to the TDP in Andhra Pradesh, after previously criticizing the party, has further fueled the perception that his political maneuvering is aimed at manipulating the opposition for his own gain.

Kishor's alleged fear of Modi, points to his constant predictions of BJP victories and his avoidance of directly criticizing the ruling party. This perception of a soft corner for Modi raises questions about his true intentions and his understanding of political nuances.

Kishor is a persona of political brilliance while lacking a true understanding of politics, especially within his own state of Bihar.  

Kishore fell from celebrated strategist to a controversial figure whose actions and silence are subject to increasing scrutiny and criticism.
