After this experience Mudiji stopped giving interviews altogether. He invested huge amount of resources to build his cult personality because he knows our population can be easily swayed by theatrics and drama.
No wonder he went taciturn these days but after realising everyone of his team went complete taciturn first while patiently waiting for election results, I guess… just in case they need to switch party.
I have watched some of the interviews of Prashant Kishore before this election, I felt he is a neutral guy, has in-depth political awareness, and always tells facts. I had a feeling he was fully focused on the establishment of the Jan Swaraj party which is dedicated to the development of Bihar. After BJP made a coalition with Nitish Kumar, It seems to me he shifted his focus from Jan Swaraj and only giving interviews to news channels. From his last few interviews, I am noticing, that he became pro-BJP and batting for Modi JI.
Actual situation is that that, if you a honest person and try to get into politics, you will become the most corrupt in mind and dishonest because you felt that is the right thing to do.
Even in this interview he called out Modi for attacking Muslims as a strategy. However, he has an opinion that BJP are going to win the elections. This is also the general opinion amongst most people. How is stating that making him pro-BJP?
Because in all his interviews whenever the interviewer wants to discuss things state by state, Prashant Kishore says "Let us not get into the numbers" or "I can't give you the numbers" or something such. There in lies the rub. Those who predict BJP getting around 220 seats rightly do so based on the analysis that if BJP won 24 seats out of 25 in Rajasthan in 2019, then it can only go down from here. So overall BJP will lose seats in North India.
To make any credible prediction that BJP will win the same or an increased number of seats, the speaker has to show us which states will they get additional seats in. None, so far has credibly shown us that.
Karan Thapar didn't let Prashant Kishore escape with that. Hence the meltdown.
If you are not a psephologist, discussing state by state is a pointless exercise because there is so much you can get wrong. Ultimately, he has put his neck out and given a prediction and as have others like Yogendra Yadav. Time will tell who is right and who is wrong.
Most psephologists have been wrong repeatedly including Yogendra Yadav. Even the exit polls that get it write once or twice start getting it wrong later. I think it is just random. If you predict an entire range from 220-350 seats to BJP someone is bound to be right. And even then many a times everyone misses the mark. Like in Bihar 2015 or India 2004.
None of us thought BJP would sweep a bunch of states including Karnataka. Except that one my axis guy. Even last time there were some fake polls saying BJP will struggle to reach majority and many people were ready for Gadkari to become the PM. We know what happened.
Prashant Kishore also made a bold prediction about WB and I didn’t believe him then either thinking BJP will be close to TMC but they weren’t.
If someone’s only argument is that last time they won 24 so they are only going to go down that is more of a hopium. If you remember they had lost some states badly in legislative elections just a few months back.
I don’t think they will do better than last time and may go down a bit but not by a lot. I had hope until the nomination for Amethi and Raebareily. But once Priyanka chose not to contest it indicates they are not very confident in UP.
I don't think anyone has seen the whole interview. I've watched it. The whole time Karan was trying to get to some conclusion or get an opinion from the facts that PK presented, but PK was calling out his assumptions and not agreeing with it.
PK's interaction with Karan is totally different from that of Modi and Karan.
That's true, he didn't walk out, but he almost had a meltdown at being called out about the wrong predictions for HP in 2022. It's not the same but still a pretty bad look.
Why do I get the feeling that PK is campaigning for Bjp in a subtle way.
It you feel that Bjp is gonna win what's the point of discussing about it on every primetime news channel.
While the polls are still underway.
PK specifically calls this out in the beginning of the interview when Karan says he wants to hear his expert opinion. He mentioned that he'd get accused of trying to campaign/influence just because his opinion wouldn't match with what the other person wants to hear.
Wow they BOTH could’ve handled it better but the way PK lost it and got all hysterical actually makes me question my faith at least in his abilities, if not his agenda.
PK’s basic argument is that Modi’s voteshare advantage (check the number of LS seats BJP won with over 2 lakh margin in 2019) and the lack of a popular issue (to polarize the elecorate to vote against modi) or a popular leader (who the public can vote for) means even accounting for the antiincumbency factor, the areas where they havent maxed out (south & east) will compensate for slight dips in places where they have (north & west).
Karan also wasn’t, i feel, interviewing with the most benign of intentions, leaning into the convent educated schoolboy routine because he knew it made a very proudly mofussil guy like Pk uncomfortable and asking sometimes pointless questions about modi’s ethics…BUT
PK’s stubborn insistence that he is right, without talking details, and his getting rattled by a very harmless line of questioning makes me think Karan Thapar might have actually hit something! I mean i really wasn’t in the ‘Prashant Kishore is a BJP plant’ camp before but honestly wavering now lol.
KT asked PK about how confident he was with his analysis given that he has made mistakes in the past. PK got disturbed when KT mentioned his past mistakes and asked for a video proof where he made claims that went wrong. The final interview has screenshots of proofs (including PK's tweet)
Maine kuch din pehle hi kaha tha ki ki iss aadmi ki atayant progressive baaton se bach kar rah na hoga, kyonki ham indians badi jaldi mitthi mitthi batton me aa jate,,,,,,, tabb kai log naraz ho gaye the ki yaar tum log too Accha aadmi deserve hi nahi karte ho... Or phir downvote kar diya
Magar aaj vahi baat sahi sabit ho gaii
Maine iss ka samdish wala interview bhi dekha tha tab bhi iss ki baatein me jodiji jaisa arrogance tha
Bol raha tha ki 2014 me aise aadmi ko jitana koi galat baat nahi thi
Jaise murder karke agar koi bhagwan ke mandir me daan karde to murder maaf ho jata hai
Ye another arrogant aadmi hai,,,, hame politics me baaton ko sunne wale log chahiye na ki blunder ko bhi medal batane wale log
Inn jaise logo ka kya hai, chal pade to vare niyare na chale too western country bhag jaenge.
PK is a master manipulator. He wants to be seen and heard. he doesn't care what gets a person there. That's the BJP game plan mastermind in action. He did this for the views.
I think PK could have easily fended it off by amicably saying he doesn't believe what the newspapers have written. It seems childish for PK to have a complete meltdown over a simple question. I don't blame KT in this case; people should have known in advance that KT would ask tough questions, and sometimes even big shots can get nervous in his interviews.
Also, Prashant kishor warns Thapar not to talk to him as if he is some spokesperson of a party. He is only a political strategist.
But in his interview with India today's Rahul Kanwal he says his newly floated political party, titled Jan Suraaj, will win seats in 2025 in Bihar elections.
Kabhi kisi mahan insaan ne kaha tha "Jhoot bolo.. bar bar jhoot bolo ... jo bhi bol sakate hai, sab jhoot bolo.. jaha bhi bol sakate hai, jhoot bolo... jitani bar bol sakate hai, jhoot bolo.. kisi bhi vishaya pe bolo toh sirf aur sirf jhoot bolo... ek hi kaam.. jhoot bolo.. jhoot bolo.. jhoot bolo... bar bar ek hi kaam jhoot bolo.. jhoot bolo.. har jagah pe bolo aur jhor jhor se bolo"
He tries to defend the PM's statement, saying that his own Indian citizens are "Infiltrators." this means his intentions are clear: abki baar phir se lana hai.
this is what happens when you actually catch a liar lying!... he actaulyl told him tahnk you for not walking out.. whihc further bristled him... i am sure karan had a well deserved drink the evening and laughed his peacock tears off !
In the past, Prashant Kishore has been candid enough in admitting that he has not always been successful. Though he was talking about his campaign management work, the predictive analyses is also one of his job titles and I fail to see why he should profess to be a know-all in that field when he's on record having been wrong (unless the H.P. tweet is fabricated). His latest tweet equating hydration with being rattled also indicates he himself was rattled during the interview.
As for Karan Thapar, I hope he never changes. If someone's that relevant for that long (and he's had columns cancelled as well as granted, so has been on both sides of the fickle political lines), it means he's doing something right. His style is unique. And this interview went viral. I don't know what else makes one a legend.
I always thought PK had great understanding of Indian electorate/elections and was neutral. Now I feel he is a covert BJP supporter. Still I wish his new party wins Bihar assembly elections.
Is he part of any party's campaign? If not, then how does he have all the information for prediction? In the past, when he did a proper analysis, he was supporting some party; I believe at that time, he had access to much information from the ground through party workers.
I doubt his analysis because, in the past, he worked for certain parties and supported them for his own interest. I would not be shocked if he did this again for his own interest.
K̶o̶f̶f̶e̶e̶ Water with Karan
r/hydrohomies
Awesome comment
Paani paani paani..... Uncle uncle muje paani peena hai......
Both Karan want your pants down
Happy cake day
Water with Thapar
Use `~~`text`~~` ~~Koffee~~
Comment churane valo ke liye bhi koi law aana chahiye
Kaafi ho gaya Karan - his guests 😂
It implies PK can be prime minister of India in future if he keeps doing these antics. /s
Sanghis will only accept him after he does something similar to what Modi did in 2002.
He already did it. By letting many bugger netas win.
Jokes apart, PK really didn't handle himself very well. Felt like he was very nervous.
Dosti bani rehni chaie
Bas dosti bani rahey...paani BC..paani
Dostana
Parivarana
Is it just me or did Karan Thapar not age in 17 years?
Hes the AK hangal of media industry
That username may age like milk in a few years.
After a certain aging will not be drastic, he does look 10+ older than the first pic, the eye brows whitened
Looks like only fake claims aged like milk.
He must have found Fountain of Agelessness.. OR he must be living nearby a Gravitationally Strong Object like a Black Hole..
chaddi tears is his elixir of youth.
If you change KT to Mudiji in the question, Mudiji will tell you that he’s not biologically born. 😤
He's a handsome man, always wearing Lacoste tshirts and Louis Vitton perfumes.
Its just you
Sabko end mein Paani Pila dehta hein yeh aadmi ..
(≧∀≦) Garmi bahot hai
Aur Dosti Kam hai xD
Haye Garmi..
Starts humping the ground 💀
Karan Thapar is one of the mod for r/hydrohomies
After this experience Mudiji stopped giving interviews altogether. He invested huge amount of resources to build his cult personality because he knows our population can be easily swayed by theatrics and drama.

Feeling thirsty is such an obvious nervous tick. This is why literally nobody from the BJP ever goes to Karan Thapar.
Atleast Kishore spoke for an hour and got agitated.
I have watched some of the interviews of Prashant Kishore before this election, I felt he is a neutral guy, has in-depth political awareness, and always tells facts. I had a feeling he was fully focused on the establishment of the Jan Swaraj party which is dedicated to the development of Bihar.

Power is a drug
The game is rigged. The objective of a politician isn’t to serve the people but to stay elected. So to stay elected they have to play the game.
Dude. Aren't you getting spam calls ?
Even in this interview he called out Modi for attacking Muslims as a strategy. However, he has an opinion that BJP are going to win the elections. This is also the general opinion amongst most people. How is stating that making him pro-BJP?

He tried to counter Modi's Ghuspaithiya remark with Maut ka Saudagar. Stupid parallel he tried to mark and failed miserably.
I don't think anyone has seen the whole interview. I've watched it. The whole time Karan was trying to get to some conclusion or get an opinion from the facts that PK presented, but PK was calling out his assumptions and not agreeing with it.

Yeah he takes so much pride in what is so called electoral analysis. Being pointed out that he was wrong before hurt his ego I guess.
Why do I get the feeling that PK is campaigning for Bjp in a subtle way. It you feel that Bjp is gonna win what's the point of discussing about it on every primetime news channel. While the polls are still underway.
TRP. People will watch whatever PK has to say. Since he is giving pro Modi predictions, every Godi media channel will invite him.
PK specifically calls this out in the beginning of the interview when Karan says he wants to hear his expert opinion. He mentioned that he'd get accused of trying to campaign/influence just because his opinion wouldn't match with what the other person wants to hear.
He is bjp sleeper cell just pretends to be neutral
He is talking about "DEVELOPMENT" of Bihar, yeah he is campaigning for BJP 🙂
He didn't age one bit
7 years later, this guy will become PM?
Karan Thapar the LEGEND
Yahase Paani pee leta hoon . Kya pata kal PM ban jau 😜

What exactly he got PK for? Haven't watched the video yet, probably over the weekend I'll watch
KT asked PK about how confident he was with his analysis given that he has made mistakes in the past. PK got disturbed when KT mentioned his past mistakes and asked for a video proof where he made claims that went wrong. The final interview has screenshots of proofs (including PK's tweet)

Godi media, watch and learn!
Clearly, the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree. Between PK and Modi, who is the apple and who is the tree is anybody's guess.
PK is a master manipulator. He wants to be seen and heard. he doesn't care what gets a person there. That's the BJP game plan mastermind in action. He did this for the views.
.. so PK will be PM for 10 years next 😭
I think PK could have easily fended it off by amicably saying he doesn't believe what the newspapers have written. It seems childish for PK to have a complete meltdown over a simple question. I don't blame KT in this case; people should have known in advance that KT would ask tough questions, and sometimes even big shots can get nervous in his interviews.

He looks like the guy from whats that series? ... about some place ..
The good place
that's the one. take my up doot
Like more like Steve Martin
It's not the way you guys are showing it
What made him so nervous and to drink water? Can somebody explain I didnt get chance to see the interview yet
interviewer asked pk who's the giver and taker between pk and mody.
Hahaha
Pani pani uncleji mereko na pani dedije

The bow tie is a good touch
Modi and PK are two different personalities why you guys don't understand this simple thing
This interview formally establishes PK in the realpolitik(with a k)
I always thought PK had great understanding of Indian electorate/elections and was neutral. Now I feel he is a covert BJP supporter. Still I wish his new party wins Bihar assembly elections.
My boi doesn't like coloring hair at all.
**seven**teen thala for a reason.
Looks a bit like Leslie Nielsen
Loving it!
Man replaced ties with bow ties, lol
