      Madam, you are impressed too early with his articulation, he is pure business man, he and his team IPAC has developed election model from his experience since 2014 election. Since then helping different parties to win election based on his number crunching machine. You will not find him an opinion on any government policy, or thoughts on nation, how to move nation ahead. He gives analysis on election results and how one party should campain to win election. He denied multiple times in many interview to be called himself strategist but most of interview revolves around strength and weakness of different political parties and how one should win election against BJP.
      He is sure in limelight since WB election results and pastor boy for many parties. But not very much welcomed in Congress, reasons known to him and people in congress.

    Interesting interview and it confirmed what we already know now - DO NOT LET THE HINDUS UNITE - divide the Hindus and rule is what matters like it did in the past, nobody questions if there is anything wrong when all Muslims/Christians vote anti bjp and whether that is right or wrong but dividing the Hindu vote is what matters.. this is exactly why we’ve been ruled for hundreds of years cz of the Hindus never uniting for a cause. Doesn’t matter if the bjp is delivering to the last person or not, whether they are a democratically run organisation or not.. all that matters is that they need to be defeated cz they stand against the discrimination of Hindus in a Hindu majority country cz everyone else appeases others on their behest. In our country only a Hindu is expected to be secular and while all other religions can remain non secular cz that is freedom of religion. Rules of secularism only apply on the Hindus LoL

    Prashant Kishore's strength of understanding and clarity of analysis (and also of Shekhar Gupta's for that matter) comes from his never losing the focus from the core principles of political discourse.

In that sense the interview was comprehensive. I'm further of the opinion that he's the sort of person who takes a lot of time for his insights to formulate and only then share them publicly ; and boy does he do that with conviction. Please notice the long intervals of absence from the media. My instinct is that these gaps are when the ideas/ insights are getting formulated or germinating so to speak.
