According to Prashant Kishor, the BJP is aware that its support will decline in Bihar as a result of sharing seats with the JD (U), but its tactic is to lose a battle in order to win a war. According to political strategist Prashant Kishor, the BJP has not gained anything concrete by bringing Nitish Kumar and JD (U) back into the fold of the NDA because the number of BJP seats in Bihar would not change significantly, but it would be a psychological blow to the opposition. The strategist claimed in an interview that taking Nitish Kumar, one of the INDIA bloc’s architects, is like losing a battle to win for the BJP.
A significant political shift occurred ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha election when Nitish Kumar, who led the opposition parties in fighting the BJP together last year, defected from the India bloc and joined the NDA. Though they had repeatedly slammed into each other, JD (U) and BJP appeared to be on good terms, and the Congress claimed that Nitish Kumar’s departure from the alliance wouldn’t be detrimental to it overall. According to Prashant Kishore, JD (U) will be completed by 2024, and before the state’s assembly elections in 2025, the situation in Bihar will alter once more. According to Prashant Kishor, JD (U) will win more than 20 seats in the upcoming election, regardless of who it runs with.
Being a member of the opposition bloc, Nitish Kumar’s membership was deemed insignificant. He wasn’t bringing anything that would have changed the situation on his own. However, in terms of perception, there were those who supported the strength of the opposition or the newly formed India. He was regarded as one of the most important members of the new formation. Prashant Kishor stated that the BJP has adopted a losing-a-war tactic by bringing him back. According to Prashant Kishore, the BJP is aware that they will be sharing seats with the JD (U), which will result in a reduction in their number. He also stated that the BJP will bear the consequences of this decision in the assembly election.
Rahul Gandhi chose the incorrect date for the Bharat Jodo Naya Yatra, according to Prashant Kishor. He ought to be at the headquarters now. He is in headquarters when he should be on the ground, and he is in yatra when he is needed at the headquarters. Prashant Kishore remarked, “I do not believe this is the most effective use of a period of time.
With only six months left for seat sharing, the India bloc is having teething issues due to its late formation. What prevented them from getting married in 2022 or 2021? According to Prashant Kishor, everyone was aware that seat sharing would occur and that the election would take place in 2024. In 2019, he had developed into a figure who could infuse Indian stories with a great deal of courage, conviction, and pride. He is being portrayed as the person who introduced Ram to the nation in 2024.
