Goa: Political strategist Prashant Kishor has said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will continue to remain at the center of Indian politics for the next few decades.
While interacting with media in Goa, he said, “The BJP is going to be at the centre of Indian politics, whether they win, whether they lose – like it was for the first 40 years for the Congress. The BJP is going nowhere. Once you secure 30% vote at the India level, you are not going away in a hurry”.
Commenting on the popular belief that people are getting angry with the Modi government, he said, “Do not ever get into this trap that people are getting angry and they will throw away Modi. Maybe they will throw away Modi, but the BJP is not going anywhere. You have to fight it out for the next many decades”.
