No vision for the country... only goal is defeat Modi... would hv loved to to hear his economic and social policies
@@prabalkashyap7887 In addition to this, he wants to bring much more decentralisation in Governance
@@anubhabdas1445 with so much regionalism and gundagardi attitude of everyone, decentalisation will be the final nail in the coffin of Bharat . This is a perfect Breaking India recipe inthe making. I will leave this dead nation much before hopefully.
@@prabalkashyap7887 It unfortunate general practice in India. People try to settle personal scores and take along masses with them.
There is lateral entry upto join secretary level now. But I don't think it was PKs idea.
@@NithinDevang if I'm not wrong, since 2014 there has been 80 openings through lateral entry till date.. that's the exact number (I am a little unsure) .
In India Lateral entry was there since long ... We had Manmohan Singh in 1994 only ..
But PK wanted it to be massive .. that was his idea.. when Barrack Obama became American President he brought 3000 professionals across his Ministries.. PK wanted to do something of that stature
Those who are leaving Congress, knows that soon or later PK would be a huge part in the party. Congress is reviving the party very cautiously.
High time they mend their ways. Can’t take 5 more years of blabber mouth feku
Leaders full of greed and expectations nothing to contribute or sacrifice cadres uncultured no discipline
@@banditonehundred 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 btw Amit Shah said our next target is Uniform Civil Code so be ready to hit streets
@@mudishodemizatlyrejin9087 I support the uniform civil code, but because of the lethargic nature of the Liberal Parties, BJP has picked up the issue and they will communalise the hell out of it. Same goes for Azaan.
This is the first time somebody had extracted so much from this riddle throwing intellect. Awesome interviewing by Bharkaji. What a trend setter to dynamically frame questions and making this man speak and all without infuriating him . A template for young and aspiring journalists. This interview will be watched across party lines and probably he is sending out a message to reclaim his bargain( whatever it is ) :)
He’s is so clear about his ideas and approach.
Prashant Kishor's move towards the congress once more is an interesting development to watch. There have been quite a few interesting things recently.
1. Kishor's attempts to have Mamata as the face of the opposition doesn't seem to have worked and he has now realised it is a useless exercise since TMC still doesn't have the pan-India presence or the relevance Congress (even with all that has been lost)as a party holds.
2. Priyanka Gandhi's NDTV interview made it clear that they have in fact worked on strengthening Congress at the grassroots level, something that seems to have been part of the blueprint Kishor developed with Congress. So, it is not that Congress hasn't acted on the feedback they received.
3. Priyanka Gandhi admitting in the same interview that the talks failed because of issues on both sides. It was a pretty fair and mature take on the issue since she didn't blame Kishor alone for what happened and accepted that they were also responsible for the talks breaking down.
4. Prashant Kishor in his NDTV interview said almost the same thing, but gave more details as to what transpired. He also seemed to take more responsibility for the failure of the talks since he openly admitted that the Congress leadership had its rationale in not trusting him fully because of his past association with BJP. This definitely was a softening of his stand because even when Priyanka Gandhi did something very few in the opposition dared to do, i.e. go to Lakhimpur Kheri, (something Kishor may have appreciated if he had been more neutral at that time), he attacked the move as useless.
5. This interview seems to be one more, but a more active step, in that direction. Kishor admits clearly that he sees them as the pivot for defeating BJP in 2024 and is willing to work with Congress if they give him the opportunity again.
6. However, there also seem to be major differences in Kishor's approach this time around. Something Kishor has done with his electoral campaigns with AAP and TMC has been to take on BJP's aggressive Hindutva with a softer Hindutva/appeasing Hindu sentiments (hanuman chalisa/Jai Durga). This time though, he seems to be saying that Hindutva cannot be won by playing the game using the same rules. Kishor says here that Hindutva can be combated once you realise that if you really look at the figures, for every Hindu who votes based on his/her religion, there is a Hindu who doesn't. This is something that goes well with Congress' secular vision. I really hope that they are both able to build on this because Congress or any opposition, for that matter, cannot oppose BJP unless they have an ideology which is different from theirs. We are also far from the halcyon days of the BJP regime when it seemed like religion had all the answers. There has been a genuine disillusionment among the youth and the public now with religion as the only agenda and that is something the Opposition needs to utilise.
7. Kishor also seems to be negotiating another contentious issue with Congress - the need to have a face for the campaign. Since Kishor's campaigns have always worked on the face and the narrative model, for him to admit that a face isn't necessary as long as the narrative is strong and that insisting that there should be a face is falling into BJP's rhetoric is surely his way to find a middle ground with the Congress.
I think Barkha did a great job until the middle, after which I thought she lost a bit of steam and interrupted Kishor when he was saying some interesting things . Still, she made Kishor admit to a few things which may have required a lot more work from another journalist. So kudos to her. In Kishor's case, all I can say is whatever his faults, past allegiances and lack of a proper ideology, he seems to have an absolutely sound understanding of the current political scene. When he says that BJP as a political force is going to stay relevant for decades, he is not saying it to sound discouraging. What he means is that there needs to be long-term investment, commitment and patience to take on an ideology that has penetrated into the very fabric of the country. It doesn't mean that it cannot be done, just that the fight will be tough and the participants need to properly understand the stakes at hand and commit themselves fully.
I, for one, pray that we get an opposition that can take on the BJP in 2024. I had been much disillusioned by the Congress before the 2014 elections and had believed that the government at the centre was the most corrupt I had seen in a long while. Two terms of BJP rule have completely disenchanted me. While UPA was at the centre, you at least had the freedom as a citizen to criticise the government. Now, as long as you belong to the ruling party, you can do anything and get away with it. You can even be nepotistic (Jay Shah), but nobody will raise a finger against you because you are the ruling party. Add to that, the hatred and polarisation within the country on this unimaginable scale. For a country with such diverse populations as India, it is imperative that there should be tolerance for difference. Otherwise, we will have to twist everything natural (the geographies, the diverse histories, cultures etc) to fit an artificial uniformity model that is suffocating and poisonous.
We have to see how the results of the coming elections affect these dynamics. I hope against hope that sanity prevails and leaders in all the opposition groups understand the direness of the situation and work together.
Well commented, awesome analysis 👍
No one can challenge modi government from gandhi family , you get it written from me 🤣😂
What has the Top 10 senior most congressmen got to say about PKs strategy? Were they taken into confidence about this discussion?
He knows how to be in news
Yes accept Prasant Kishor to Congress if he wants to strenghten the party as he may not join BJP
Andra is suffering because of you man
Prashant Kishore wants to become CWC member by lateral entry.
The mess he left in Goa which he is washing his hands off is unbelievable..people are not foooools...Congress does not require head hunters like PK 😇😇😇
he never said that.
He is the biggest opportunist in Indian politics... he goes in the side of only those who are winning. He lost in UP 2017... he realised his mistake and then avoided Congress in 2022 Punjab cuz he knows cong is loosing punjab. He have no power to bring win for those who are about to loose. Simple.
How can he help to win TMC in bengal?
@@milonmanna3955 TMC was already a winner... it was just a hype made by Godi media. BJP was never to win.
He is begging to join congress, he knows aayaga tou Modi hi
Now that congress is not returning his calls, he is begging online.
Nikal be
How do we compete with China and other developing nations ? How to improve our Economy and per Capita ? How to modernize our defence ? Can we be one of top 3 defence equipment exporter ? If so, what need to be done ? Can we set up a business office, to give strategies to answer these ?
Congress is already capable of handle all these important problems.
The main problem of congress is that they are not able to win elections. PK can solve that problem
@@ashutosh07ify yeah they showed how capable they were during agusta westland scam , bofors scam and how many defence indigenization processes stopped under them . Congress ministry of defence was the most corrupt in the country's history . If congress had leaders who could solve these problems they wouldn't have lost the earlier elections
I get a feeling that he is very intelligent and understands the subject of politics very well. Congress should reconsider taking him. With changing times we need to adopt and be flexible or we would be crushed. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
जहां चाह वहाँ राह ❤🙏❤
Ye Purana interview h?
🛑➡️ BARKHA DUTT JI, IT'S VERY USEFUL CONVERSATION, PLEASE GO AHEA POSITIVE FURTHER, THANKS AND GOD BLESS YOU, 🙏🙋♂️🌹
Nice
Having prashant in congress will be a good gameplsn for both.. i think both should keep ego aside and work together... to kep country health good and intact
Congress in focus in this channel, shall we conclude this channel is for congress?
What is the economic agenda of PK. How are you planning to increase the economy faster than BJP??
Giving freebies is easy part ...harder part is maintaining a sustainable economic development... opposition parties give no idea regarding that... only rhetoric of defeating Modi is not going to work.
Congress had a higher economic growth despite corruption in comparison to the BJP.
We suspect this person.
It will be better if we work to improve policies and politics in our country
I have seen many rubbish comments out thier talking about Congress and in general "Gandhis not having a vision". First of all Congress is not Gandhi and Gandhi is not congress. They are both parts of an ideology. Second , Congress has always supported free speech and equality and also all the major economic reforms had been brought under PV Narsimha Rao and Manmohan Singh Ji. As for people who think its Gandhi always tell me in all the PM that Congress gave Nehru was elected by the people of India. Shastri (Non Gandhi) selected by people of India. Indira (A Gandhi) slected by people of India thrice and thrown away by people of India too because of her arrogance. (Rajiv Gandhi) backed by major parties as allies and also PM due to people vote. Then came VP Singh , Chandra Sekhar with support of Congress (No Gandhi). Then came PV Narsimha (No Gandhi ) then came Chandrasekhar and Gujral who were also not Gandhi after which 10 years BJP rules. After 2004 again ManMohan Singh becomes PM(Not Gandhi).
Now you tell Me when in "73 years of Indian independence for 45 years" No Gandhi Surname became PM what problem do you have with them ??
Sonia Gandhi becomes party president after death of Rajiv with full democratic procedures. It is not that Sonia had an overwhelming charisma or family name. And they have won 2 PM elections tackled ecnomy and 26/11 and border isssue as effectively as they could. Even today those bastards who are leaving Congress were all Union Ministers made by Congress as Now they're livelohood income is in danger these bastards are changing party. Congress was powerfull and will be powerfull or else for 50 years out of 73 it wouldnt have ruled. Our fathers education and my good upbringing by them is a result of Congresses Education policy. And I will always remember this contribution. BJP is neither secular nor nationalist. Its a bigotry of religious freaks doing a Circus Show. Congress never fell on some one feet or bought (Horsetraded MLA's).
Again i'll emphasize "Gandhis are not Congress but they are active working members of it".
Exactly! 👍
I am not a big fan of congress (present). People have to understand the power of propaganda. BJP RSS has used its propaganda machine to demolish the Congress and especially RG. The problem with the BJP is that they think that a great propaganda wave will do everything for them, including running the country. Unfortunately, they just don't have anything beyond a slick brochure, which does not fool the real citizens of the nation.
@@meta5291 it does fool the dumbasses and thus they have 300 MPs in lok sabha. PK and inc need to fight as a unit against the machinary
@@itihaasnasa6389 True. We all fall for conmen, one way or another. No one is immune. Unless we fix the system to make emotional messaging impossible and isolate the voting process from such influences, it will continue to destroy humans.
WOW !! man what a speech.i agree with yr sentiments.congress is the best and the Gandhis have contributed with their heart n soul n their life too.these negative elements are all jealous of them.Not for nothing people look up to the Gandhis.
ये बहुत चालाक आदमी है, बीजेपी के साथ था तो कांग्रेस को हराने की बात करता था, पंजाब में बीजेपी को और बिहार में कांग्रेस को और कोई पूछो इससे बंगाल में किसको हरने गया था बीजेपी को या कांग्रेस को।
Yes p K bahot chalak nahi hair. Vo national political party me Jana chahta hai aaj vo congress ki saran me hai. P K politically master nahi hair. Vo social media ka jankar tha. Aaj sabhi party meunse bhi bade social media ke master hai unhe kisibhi halat me congress se rajyasabhame Jana hai vo politically '0' hai jo bhi party ka kam Leta hai unki party ke social media ke logo ko tod leta hai fir party ko kamjor karta hai
Prashantji than why u brought TMC in Goa ? To damage congress in Goa assembly election
Dear Barkha, you can watch the interview multiple times if you don't get it in one go. Why are you publishing it repeatedly.
Even there will be 10 pk they are not going to compete against modi 💥💥
Who is modi??
The chaiwaala... The person who is branded the Modi is the person behind the success of modi...
He is 100 times powerful than, He knows reality of indian politics...
He wants Only one powerful Slogan & Campaign which will drane away the Modiji entire image....
Very true Jai Hind
@@sherry8084
Modi was a brand since he was CM of Gujarat. He build him self it took 50 years.
Who’s this guy ? He seems well guarded with his words lol
The caption of this video is very wrongful since in the interview itself Prashant Kishore very clearly said that his idea is never to defeat anyone but only to strengthen the opposition for a better democracy.
PK- The sole remedy....
The whole purpose of this grand blueprinting and planning is to defeat Modi. But why he wants to defeat Modi? What areas of governance he wants to improve? What kind of policy changes he is suggesting? Not a single detail, just focus on defeating Modi. Career politicians pose a danger to democracy than corrupted ones. Interesting to see what happens in 2024.
Barka Datta you are grate from Goa I I am Datta 🌹
अपराधिक प्रचार-प्रसार राष्ट्र हित मे दण्डनीय
He will surely be a great factor for the Congress in the 2024 elections. The Party should admit him into the party and allow him to help in taking back power .
Yes Congress needs revival plan
why don't you given one state responsibility to get into power like an assignment
PK is a best planner in election to win. His knowledge and courage are going to be proved safety. His nature to save the needy but the game changer. He studies more and plans with statistics
P K is not best planner. P K is social media ka jankar tha kub 2007 meusvakt itna social media melog nahi the aaj 2022 hai p K politically master nahi hai unhe kishibhi halat me congress se rajyasabhame Jana hai congress 100 sejyada sal ki party hair. Congress ko politically master chahie not p K.
His eyes are not trustworthy.

For a super duper hit movie, director role is much more important then starcast.
No doubt that starcast also matters but what if ur story is weak and direction is poor
Pk "was" ,,, not "is " 😂
Understanding from the current development and growth that our Country is making in every sphere , cleary indicates that current govt of BJP Should get the support of each and every individual who wants his/her country to achieve greater heights. JAIN HIND
He is overconfident now. Ofcourse Bengal gone back to TMC but still bjp in a way victorious too... & TN only because Amma is not there the throne gone to other party since people identify him as a party strong head....so don't keep day dreaming. Btw a party should come to power to do good for people not to just win over a good leader. All monkeys together. What else can we say?
We can see how tmc is being run in Goa, in an horrible manner no say of the leaders only IPAC, and congress not taking him is a good choice
Modi Ji Ko Haraana Mushkil Nahin Naamunkin Heii
At last, this famous Gentleman has finally made up his mind to join with the Congress party and now it is the turn of the Congress High Command to reciprocate equally and not beat behind the bush if they are really wanting to win in the next General elections slated for 2024. We wish PK all the very best and hope his magic works.
PK has some utility in election campaigns but he is over rated. He has been very clever in gauzing the mood of the public early and joining the campaign of the party that has the undercurrent in its favour.
New India same story..stop politics on public platform to live life happily ..
He wants to be made vice president in cong. He doesn't understand that there are only servants of the dynasty in cong. Or ur an outcast.
Congress or for tat matter any political party who is striving to defeat its opponent must be willing to grasp new ideologies and be willing to come out of the cocoon in order to see the new results. Otherwise things will not get better infact even deteroit. And PK is not someone who any political party should ignore when it comes to politics.
All the best.
Prasant kishor is very honest. Congress should induct him to the party and assign him a very important role in the party for the betterment of the party and the country in general. We need honest people to lead our country.
PK is a mercenary. What would happen if he joins the Congress? He would leave it in a heartbeat if he gets better moolah from another party. Congress has to make its own changes to become a force to reckon with, and it starts with the exit of the Gandhi family en masse.
PK sir should join hands with Arvind Kejriwal....It will be the best thing in the Indian Democracy History!
Kejriwal looks like C.M. modi
Kaliyug ka SHAKUNI.
But why to defeat modi ? He is doing great work . Development today india doing never done in past. Why to defeat modi then?
This interview is nothing but discussion on the strategy to defeat Narendra Modi. They don’t have an intent for the growth, development of this country and countrymen. I don’t think they can win elections with this intent. People are fed up of all such parties who are in power for making money. Why people respect and support BJP, because this is the only party nationwide who would like to do something better for the people right of poorest of poor to entrepreneurs.
Bro are you high?
Ha ha ha he knows that next era will be with Congress. He goes wherever wind goes....🤣
bruh congress is going to lose in punjab too congress is a failure focus on aap
Congress should try him.
Sir join Congress
RG is true leader wo development ki and new raajniti krta h or apna bharat yeha jinaa Pakistan china hindu muslim pe vote krta h sarm ki baat h we should understand
No. He cannot defeat BJP in 2024
he did in WB
As far as I am concerned,he is all brouhaha and much ado about nothing.He's just having a field day right now.
This guy cleverly join that party campaign who is going to win by itself and he takes credit
Jai chand
I think kcr can be united opposition face if u put debate among the present opposition faces KCR may emerge as a winner and I think it can be tested and iam saying opposition face to be selected on merit and not on basis of emotions , ideology ,language ,place ,religion ,caste creed etc but only on the basis of capability
Neither he or congress part is trusting each other.
Even if bjp loose in 2024, things are not going to change.
No need to join.
He may suggest&do his survey&consultancy.
If Gandhi s mingles with piblic&stay in .
Automatic re construction.
Hard work ll pay&also Honest promises.
Congress really needs him.
Wrong prasant kisor needs congress
Then after he helps someone to beat the BJP (which he brought to power the first time), then he’ll go to help the BJP to come back to power and the circus will roll along. So I’m not a PK believer anymore. On a separate note, there has to be something wrong in the congress which is unable to retain its key people. But on the other hand, when someone leaves, it’s always an opportunity to make a fresh start and give more people a chance to work for the party, who might otherwise not have got that chance.
I agree with you.
After the discussions fell through he has been instrumental in poaching Congress leaders. The poached leaders have themselves said they were in talks for few months.
Can't understand how he says he is ready to join Congress and being part of poaching !!
There are very few people in current situation who is willing to join congress against BJP who is able to provide all money and power in current situation
PK is just wasting his time and talent with a party which is a family run business under brand ‘Gandhi’. Their political acumen itself is questionable. I want to go to Harvard but not capable to clear a local Police Constable competitive exam is a synonym to current leadership situation in Congress. PK is just creating his own stature by standing aside Rahul Gandhi as that’s the easiest thing to do….even Modi does it, RaGa is his star campaigner
He told clearly that if Priyanka Gandhi should be made face of 2024 PM candidate instead of Rahul then only Congress will win for which Sonia has not agreed
Kaisi dikhne lag gayee hain confidence bhi khatam ho gaya hain
You guess which side is going to win, then go to that side. Then claim you are some great strategist. Enough of you. Go somewhere and do something worthwhile. You are not wanted anywhere pk. Nobody will forget who put us in this mess.
U will loose badly 😂😂
Bhai aap subramanian sway baan k rah jaoge
Do whatever, join congress but never forget that they're working on a family business, enhancing nepotism in their party you'll have work under a particular family.
If there is no issue of nepotism, I'm the kattar congressi. But I can't bear the inhumilation that theirs family is having more Knowledge of society or having good intentions to do work for public welfare. We all are human we can do everything that the Can do or doing.
I do believe you but If you do so then Human civilization will be humiliated.
He wants Congress machinery to expand his power.
This guy is no messiah of people
Write
I think Prashant Kishore should come up with their own party instead of working for bjp, congress or any other party. Look at Arvind Kejriwal.
Aap andolan se nikli party he ...asan nahi hoga Prashant Kishore party banake ladne se
@@lintoppthomas Prashant Kishore is not new to the politics. He know Indian politics better than anyone. He can pull good people from every party easily.
He wanted to be the Congress National President.
He was not agreed to work as 'kiray ka tattoo'
That's the whole Story ..
Lol khudh Gandhi wapas aa jaye Congress mein fir bhi Modiji ko nai hara sakti. Toh ye Jugal kishore Kya hi kar lega.
Bechaari Kahan thi ab tak
Prasanth kishore will understand what is the congress party once he brings to power and they form govt in centre they only care for their dynasty nothing else than that, they didn't even let anyone to grow in Congress else their family many leaders have left congress due to this dyanastic and family rule like Sharad pawar NCP Mamata banarjeeaTMC and Jagans YSRCP all slipt from congress based on their dyanstic rule
He is crook
Shikari shambu we say about him
Sometimes by luck he win
Interviewing a man who is a political broker and today Indian social media is in worst state just because of this man this guy bring caste and make them fight and will enjoy seeing people fight synonym of broker
Applause to Prashant kishore's clarity.. But equally happy that miss so called secular flag bearer bharkha ki roji Roti ka Intezam ho gaya.. Bechari Bahut pareshan thi.. Ab Bechari ko desh rehne layak lagne laga hoga..@India is not safe🤣
Pk most 3rd class strategists , He can't do anything for tmc except West Bengal.
If you only focus on defeating Modi, the nation will never let you win now. Game has changed completely. Reason being your vision is only electoral success, nobody has any road path. What will you do for the public.
अगर इतनी कबलियत है तो क्यों नहीं खुद की पार्टी क्यों नहीं बना लेता।
Peasant kisor congress ki saran me ja rahe hai congress party se rajyasabhame jana chahte hai. 2024 last election bad me apni social media company challenge koi unko pahechanege nahi
Both r west fellow .
Who is he to defeat BJP,India is Hindu Rashtri and majority of Hindu voters will only vote for BJP not to those parties who are anti Hindu and anti country,Hindus in Bengal learnt the lesson by voting in favour of TMC and in future they will never vote for tmc to keep their Hindu identity alive for future generations and do not commit the mistake to let continuos subjugation of Muslims,PK should thank to God that he was not born in Kashmir.
Those Strategies are useless unless the citizens are willing to vote congress
Tum kucho na karpaoge babua. U have landed up in a sinking ship please save your self first. Do u think u will replace RG and become PM face for congress 😂
Barkha is again negotiating and trying to break the ICE, old habits die hard!
Pls Frist search a partner for Rahul then try to join conressy
Are you a broker to find partners for politician😜😂😂
Dear P.K plz help Priyanka in U.P. Let U.P gets a nice C.M
