Mamata’s poll strategist Prashant Kishor heard conceding defeat In West Bengal; BJP shares audio

Kolkata: In a publicly open audio chat on Club House app, Mamata Banerjee’s election strategist Prashant Kishor conceded that even in Trinamool Congress(TIMC)’s internal surveys show BJP is winning in ongoing West Bengal assembly general elections.

JP has cadre on ground and the vote is for Modi, polarization is a reality, the Schedule Castes (27% of West Bengal(WB)’s population), Matuas are all voting for the BJP, said Prashant Kishor in this chat, audio of which has gone viral on social media.

Another candid admission by Mamata Banerjee’s election strategist was that all that the Left, Congress and TMC ecosystem have done in the last 20 years is Muslim appeasement. As an implication, it has resulted to resentment on ground. The speakers had not realised that the chat was public!

Modi is hugely popular in Bengal and there is no doubt about it. There is a cult around him across the country. There is anti-incumbency against TMC, polarization is a reality, SC votes is a factor plus BJP’s election machinery, said Mamata Banerjee’s strategist in an open chat.

Is it open?

Deafening silence followed after that moment when Mamata Banerjee’s strategist realized that the Club House room was open and his admissions were being heard by the public at large and not just a handful of Lutyens journalist.

Prashant Kishor hit back over “the selective and distorted use of part of the conversation” and asked the BJP to release the full conversation.
