"3 Missed Opportunities For Opposition": Prashant Kishor To NDTV | Read

Poll strategist Prashant Kishor has scoffed at the Congress-led INDIA bloc's chances of defeating the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha election, arguing the opposition grouping had failed to capitalise - multiple times - when Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government was on the defensive. He made specific mention of the contentious Ram Mandir (consecration in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya), saying, "The opposition virtually lay down arms (after the event). By the time they woke up again, in February, it was too late."

"By the time INDIA bloc came into action, it was too late... the BJP had already recovered space it lost," Mr Kishor, who orchestrated winning campaigns for three members of the opposition group - the Trinamool, the Congress, and the DMK - told NDTV on Tuesday.
