The amount of knowledge PK has about Indian politics is simply mind blowing. His answers were brutally honest. This was one of the best interviews which covered a wider scope. I do miss this quality interviews in Indian media. Thank you The Print.
It should not be considered anything out of ordinary, it's his job to know all these details. He's just really really good at what he does. This should be the gold standard for everyone in India to be proficient in their field of work.
Honestly I didn't find anything he said groundbreaking. We all know this. His real strength is implementing ideas on ground. But it's still facinating to listen to PK.
Best thing about PK is he never underestimates people's wisdom. He knows where to look for factual and important data between all the meta narratives and Polarisation
I am not agree with you, he is very dangerous person in this world as political strategist, I am from Andhra Pradesh India. He implement very worst strategies in AP. After 2 year of election there is no peace 🕊️ in my State.
Totally impressed with his vast knowledge and explanation about present political scenario in India. The opposition parties really need to see this interview.
Really a good interview, I saw a bunch of interviews of pk in the past week which was concentrated on him becoming a politician or promoting didi etc but here they let him speak his mind rather than just attacking him.
so if u see timesnow channel they are going to attack him . they want to take out from his brain his plans. some channels are investigators of ruling party.
@@vsx862 u got soft ? you need to look at the context. PK is not minister in bengal. he is not CM. so that question he will easily avoid. you can ask same questions to modi next time you meet him.
Supreme clarity of thought when he wants to lend it and to obfuscate when it suits him. Great guy and it is a pleasure listening to him dissecting the Indian political landscape!
Prashant's way of looking at Indian politics is refreshing. His views on the present Congress highlights the sheer incompetence in the party leadership. Wish we could have many more people like Kishor coming up in Indian politics.
@@gaganbhattacharya9890 Somehow across all political lines .. deep inside face value me you won't accept.. There's a deep frustration against kejriwal.. because he has defated them twice with more than 90% seats in Dehli. That's the truth
The man knows his craft, and it is visible in the way he carries himself during the interview; not that we had a doubt. Thank you #theprint for bringing him on OTC.
Best political interviews ever to understand Indian National politics .. Shekhar Gupta, Neelam Pandey and Prashant Kishor .. Awesome Trio who can assemble and understand Indian political puzzle
Definitely a great interview. Prashant Kishor is an expert. He is politically neutral that's why he managed to work with different political parties of different ideologies. He is very intelligent. Shekhar Gupta is of course a veteran journalist and highly respected.
He is not politically neutral. He worked with BJP and something went wrong after that between him & BJP. That's why he is willing to work with anyone against BJP. He looks impatient and desperate to defeat BJP. Its unfortunate that intelligent people like him would go to any extent to pull someone's leg who is honest and nationalist.
@@vsx862 congratulations! BJP has successfully brainwashed you. It's funny that we Hindus survived for 5000 years but we are suddenly in danger since the last 7 years. That is what BJP wants you to think so you keep voting for them and unfortunately some gullible people fall for it. Hoping you will wake up some day :)
I’m watching this episode third time and the best line in this interview is “Best Politics is Right action“ .. very short and has very deep meaning in it.
This is the first interview of Mr. Kishore, I have ever watched. Name it "THE OPEN CUFF". Thankyou Mr. Gupta and Neelam. Mr. Kishore has very clear vision for democracy and Indians love to have more and more people like him to keep the democracy of our country alive and kicking. thankyou again for all three of you the hour of this interview passed in seconds.
Your audacity to stress on democracy is on another level. Just because the party you don’t like is winning don’t simply mean there is no democracy in India. BJP is winning/losing based on the public vote and they are not a monarchy like most of the Islamic countries. Seems to me, You don’t like a hindu party and that’s the end of it. You don’t really give a fuck about democracy and shit.
As he has s said, he subscribe his ideology from the preamble of beloved constitution of India. I'm surprised to see you don't agree with him, that would be anti constitution.
@@satyasharma1578 I agree with you that dividing Indians by any measure is wrong. This is what the British did and ruled over us for centuries. This phrase 'minority appeasement' was created by the right and gets thrown around a lot but my question to you is can you tell me exactly what Congress or other major opposition parties have done in terms of policies to appease to minorities? No party can become a major political party in India if it was just meant to appease minorities.
If one comes to think of 7 years BJP rule, if anything they have followed consitution the maximum... that any previous rule in the last 70 years. All these years (even now) other parties made false promises, looted tax payers money in Corruption, took care of only their families (Congress, Farooq Abdulla,PDP, TMC, YSR, Lallu, DMK). Mamata is on killing spree in WB. Are all these constitutional?
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.
Prashant Kishor is one of the brightest minds of India. His astute understanding of the Indian politics is way more than than many politicians and political analysts put together! . He should inspire and nurture young talents at grass-root levels beginning with his home state, to help create an ideology- driven and committed youth power in the years to come.
Just watched 3 recent back-to-back interviews of Prashant, TOI, Times Now and then this one!! Must say this one was the best!! Shekhar ji never disappoints.! Though you can go to Navika ji for some entertainment.
And the best part is that inspite of a lot of content being congruent across these interviews,one can just listen to Pk for more than an hour and not get bored.There is so much political gyaan in these odd 180 minutes that this should be broadcasted as a lecture to all opposition parties.They don’t need an advisor if they just dissect this interview with utmost diligence.
People whoever is against Parshant Kishore about his views, ideology must listen this interview. Not even for one second you skip his views…Very well said
I like Prashant for his refreshing and down to earth analysis of Indian politics and Shekhar for eliciting the right answers. However, my disappointment is the lack of real issues that experts like PK should be advising the political parties on like health services, sanitation, economic and social inequality, employment etc., as their main issues (hope he has done this but did not come out in the interview). Politics in India has all become how to gain power, no matter how it is done.
Sir, many of the issues mentioned by you are actually guaranteed by the Constitution of India to each and every citizen. They need not be in the form of electoral promises, nor should they vary depending upon which dispensation is holding office. But the sad fact is, that after 75 years we are still grappling with these basic issues and not doing much to ameliorate the living conditions of people, down to the last man/woman. The only way out is for citizens to make it happen by all means.
You will never find this in any of his interview, nor you will find his opinion on any good policy from either BJP or Non BJP parties. Nor you will find his thought on nation, he is pure business man helping parties to win election based on numbers and purely politics.
Thanks to The Print or this interview. Very interesting discussion, especially the point about Congress sitting on 20% vote. After listening to this discussion, I am even more convinced that Mamata Banarjee's actions in Goa and the North East has Prashant Kishor's imprints on it.
This was a great interview, thoroughly enjoyed it & got to learn a lot from it as well, I could also watch & would truly appreciate a 9 hour extended discussion between the three of you on Indian politics (in broken up parts ofcourse 😅) Thanks ThePrint team
This is the only interview which I have watched every moment of words. PK talks only things which matters. Print has done great job by choosing him to interview.
He has mastered below the belt politics and became a billionaire in his own way . But i doubt if the parties he helped are doing sensible governance after winning elections. There lies a flaw.
Hats off to Shekhar Gupta. In a single sitting I have seen Prashant Kishor's multiple interviews with Karan Thapar, Srinivasa from NDTV, Barkha Dutt and then this one. No one was able to make Prashant as comfortable as he was in this one. A lot of the others were combative and searching for headlines probably. Lessons to learn in journalism if you compare the 4 interviews...
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
Bro is this all u got from this video...did u not here anything he said..hypernationalism...divisions ans isolationist politics is what bjp does under the garb of democracy...what a joke
@@MrAtomicant what is hyper nationallism and its impact on development of country? Nobody stopped congress from responding to 26/11 , buying weapons for ten years, making weapons, nothing bed in wanting country to be assertive,
@@varunkhugshal9049 being assertive is fine but not at the cost of your citizens/minorities and especially not by being authitarian ans forcing your ways upon people
Wow! What an insight into Kishore’s mind and thought process. Even if he denies it, he seems to be a great strategist. So outspoken and fact-backed. Great work The Print team.
A really good interview after a long long time. Not only from you but from any other interviewer. Further its good to know a person and his way of thinking, leaving out many differences.
I must have watched this interview 4 times or more. B'coz PK's analysis is so convincing and every time, you can read between the lines. Great, great interview
This guy is way too brilliant to sit on the sideline. Speaking out an thought imagine if he is taking on Congress so that Congress can put up a better fight even to represent opposition would such a master stroke…
Well informed and intelligent guy! Good to see two really intelligent group are battling for India. At least nobody from outside is controlling anything.
Such a good interview! Thank you. I have been a big admirer of Prashant Kishore for a long time for his immense political understanding, ability to communicate & explain a point of view and most importantly his sensibility to appreciate / acknowledge the good & the bad, even if it's about an entity/party/individual with whom he differs - I think it's a great quality. And I genuinely wish, from the bottom of my heart, that some day this person joins/forms a political party, wins elections and becomes the prime minister of India.
Wow! Wow! Wow! This is such an amazing interview, in-depth knowledge of PK on Indian politics and his style of explaining it so clearly was on full show because the interviewers were not cutting them off!
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. With that direct mooring with fundamental anchors, he can make detached analysis with greater effectiveness which can help in bringing a change in a desired direction.
Ya I agree on the brilliant part and that one seems to never have enough of him. On PK's part though I 'm almost certain that he has nothing more to say at this point of time. 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.
My God, never imagined in my lifetime that I'll come across someone like PK who so well understands not only the hard numbers but also the pulse of the electoral process. We are so lucky to have him amongst us & because of him the entire electoral space might change in a few years.
Keeping politics aside.. This guy shoots sense into all of us as to how to strategically plan for our life.. I mean how plan to attain success again and again. Or if we fail, how to introspect and 1) how to play on other's turf. Other's here mean situation beyond our control. 2) how to play better on our turf. Hats 🎩 off boss...
Never in my wildest dreams I would have imagined someone asking the country's premier political strategist about SUCCESSION. P.S. Great content as usual.
thank you to the print for uploading this vdo.. & prashant kishor sir thank you for teaching us that what our ideology must be , this video specially for those who wants to understand the Indian politics briefly ❣️
Brilliant! Such a enlightening conversation. Two of my favorite political analysts offering new insights into so many relevant issue backed by data. Was a pleasure hearing to both.
The best political interview till date on OTC! It was treat to hear Prashant...! Great job Shekhar for bringing in such a personality and having a best conversation....
The ultimate feather in one's professional cap is when your rivals follow your work out of respect. I'm sure it's a great feeling much more than money and stuff.
Are you live in Delhi ? If you live there ,you know ground reality. Delhi Govt spending thousands of crores on Advertisement since many years . I voted AK but it was my biggest mistake in my life.
@@vishnusundesha5862 This is a Lie.. I have been born and brought up In Dehli AAP is by far better than cong and BJP for that matter.. They have improved the standards of education , health care.. Water , electricity services too.. It isn't perfect.. But certainly better than what the other two parties offer
@@ragnar6592 Not at all ! AK Education Model following Late Mrs Dixit Model. Honestly speaking, Sheila Dixit Govt was excellent in most field but her govt was very corrupt. Her govt not spent too much on Advertisement. Why Delhi govt give advertisement relating to Delhi govt to newspaper of other states ? On Electricity issue ,I felt no difference. Delhi is National Capital & obviously it is available 24×7 from Decade. Too much advertisement expenses.
Hi vishnu.. Actually i used to be a student in Delhi University.... Free electricity, free water and mohalla clinic really helped me with my budget despite coming from an upper middle class family.... So i think its impact on lower income groups would be huge.....that being said.... They have miles to go
@@vishnusundesha5862 Shelia Dixie certainly built schools.. But the improvement in terms of infrastructure, Desks .. The actual curriculum was done by AAP..

But should question all parties
Hi shekhar, thank you so much for bringing PK , as I was waiting since long time to see this जुगलबंदी between both of you. You was a bit sarcastic with him but over all episode is great feast about Indian politics with is very diverse according state wise & Pk has good enough understanding due to data & statistics which he has collected. Questions from Neelam also were quite remarkable & to the point. Once again, Shekhar, thank you & to your smart team....well done 😇🙏👍
This man is humble and able to stick with the truth. Having a fresh pair of eyes and clarity of thought and then the leadership bestowing their trust on this person is a good strategy.
One great interview. Lots of insights in to politics for ordinary Indians. Sure, the Congress is really brain dead. Can't imagine India in their hands, especially during these trying times and world situation.
As young 20yr kid, I love to listen this guy 😍 he has vision in his eyes for nation his knowledge, ability and vision and roadmap to change nation is amazing. I hope he will be one of the biggest nation leader rather than political leader in our country in future . It will be great to watch out for Prashant Kishore. Great interview Print. Kuddos to you guys
The amount of knowledge PK has about Indian politics is simply mind blowing. His answers were brutally honest. This was one of the best interviews which covered a wider scope. I do miss this quality interviews in Indian media. Thank you The Print.
I agree man. Amazing data and facts hebhas
It should not be considered anything out of ordinary, it's his job to know all these details.
He's just really really good at what he does.
This should be the gold standard for everyone in India to be proficient in their field of work.
Honestly I didn't find anything he said groundbreaking. We all know this. His real strength is implementing ideas on ground. But it's still facinating to listen to PK.
Best thing about PK is he never underestimates people's wisdom. He knows where to look for factual and important data between all the meta narratives and Polarisation
I am not agree with you, he is very dangerous person in this world as political strategist, I am from Andhra Pradesh India. He implement very worst strategies in AP. After 2 year of election there is no peace 🕊️ in my State.

@@MrAtomicant what is hyper nationallism and its impact on development of country? Nobody stopped congress from responding to 26/11 , buying weapons for ten years, making weapons, nothing bed in wanting country to be assertive,
@@varunkhugshal9049 being assertive is fine but not at the cost of your citizens/minorities and especially not by being authitarian ans forcing your ways upon people
@@MrAtomicant forcing your way on people? Sounds like you are talking about conversions, we don't do that here
@@MrAtomicant lmao what is gov forcing on its citizens give me one example
Wow! What an insight into Kishore’s mind and thought process. Even if he denies it, he seems to be a great strategist. So outspoken and fact-backed. Great work The Print team.
This interview is not that detailed as compared to the one given to india today. U should also watch that one too its 2 hrs long
A really good interview after a long long time. Not only from you but from any other interviewer.
Further its good to know a person and his way of thinking, leaving out many differences.
We are seeing Next priminister of INDIA...
Brilliant questions and answers ..just loved the conversation 👍 for the first time I watched a political discussion for 1 hour.
I would advise not to make judgements about anything with first time experience. There is another saying, dont judge the half read book! Way to go....
I must have watched this interview 4 times or more. B'coz PK's analysis is so convincing and every time, you can read between the lines. Great, great interview
Amazing. No wonder this guy has such a good success rate. One of the best off the cuff !!
Woah ❤️ such a political gem 💎
Thank You The Print for bringing this interview. SG and PK 👌👌
This guy is way too brilliant to sit on the sideline. Speaking out an thought imagine if he is taking on Congress so that Congress can put up a better fight even to represent opposition would such a master stroke…
So, the only loser is Congress. PK has nothing to lose.
@@daredevil30000
Correct
Looks like u r congress supporter .. pk clearly said leaders win or loose
We won't let anyone defeat BJP
@@indiauncovered5960 yes ; onus is on us to keep these anti hindu ppl at bay.
Well informed and intelligent guy! Good to see two really intelligent group are battling for India. At least nobody from outside is controlling anything.
Such a good interview! Thank you. I have been a big admirer of Prashant Kishore for a long time for his immense political understanding, ability to communicate & explain a point of view and most importantly his sensibility to appreciate / acknowledge the good & the bad, even if it's about an entity/party/individual with whom he differs - I think it's a great quality. And I genuinely wish, from the bottom of my heart, that some day this person joins/forms a political party, wins elections and becomes the prime minister of India.
Political advice is one thing and putting it into practice is entirely an another matter. Doubt if he would be able to win an MLA or MP seat.
Wow! Wow! Wow! This is such an amazing interview, in-depth knowledge of PK on Indian politics and his style of explaining it so clearly was on full show because the interviewers were not cutting them off!
Ab Neelam puchhegi..... Ab Neelam puchhegi....
Please shekhar let Neelam go ahead.
It was my best one hour spent watching this interview. I am smitten by both PK's clarity of thoughts n the killer smile of the pretty lady.
So insightful ! This interview is definitely a lesson for everyone interested in Indian Politics. Simply brilliant ! Well done The Print
A truly brilliant political conversation. Replete with exceptional insights.
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. With that direct mooring with fundamental anchors, he can make detached analysis with greater effectiveness which can help in bringing a change in a desired direction.
No matter what your political ideology is this OFF THE CUFF is for everyone to watch.
I wish CongressMen watch it first to get some wisdom
Read Shashi Tharoor interview today on Indian Express. I think Congress is listening. Whether it will implement is another matter
@@chothazonienu3836 Okay which page on IE?
@@AyushGupta_3103 sorry, yesterday. Idea Exchange Page 14
Superb... You should have done a two part. This guy is brilliant
Ya I agree on the brilliant part and that one seems to never have enough of him. On PK's part though I 'm almost certain that he has nothing more to say at this point of time. 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.
Mind blowing. Thanks to Print. Brutally honest analysis from PK. Thanks to SG as well
Great conversation, no words to describe. It could be 9 hours talk during flight, I would have been watching for 9 hours.
Same here :)
he's the most intelligent Indian i come across on RUclips
Every Congress party meets should play this
pappu party won't do sensible stuff
@@mani92__ only Feku will learn
My God, never imagined in my lifetime that I'll come across someone like PK who so well understands not only the hard numbers but also the pulse of the electoral process. We are so lucky to have him amongst us & because of him the entire electoral space might change in a few years.
Kudos to Shekhar Gupta and The Print team. What a Phenomenal episode with Prashant Kishor !
Last bit about Succession was hilarious, could've asked straight away…lol
Wow.Whatever clarity of thought PK brings in and some very interesting observations on the political landscape.
'People like us are highly overrated'. Love his honesty. I used to dislike this guy. But after this video, I am a fond lf him. Thanks ThePrint
One of the architect of destroying Indian democracy
Good interview, But PK is very smart- Smart enough to masquerade his bias/ ambitions as qualified political acumen.
Keeping politics aside.. This guy shoots sense into all of us as to how to strategically plan for our life.. I mean how plan to attain success again and again. Or if we fail, how to introspect and
1) how to play on other's turf. Other's here mean situation beyond our control.
2) how to play better on our turf.
Hats 🎩 off boss...
Really brother your take on this interview is very commendable
Love you my brother
This comment is the thought provoking
Sorry brother for my English
Finally someone is talking about congress's inefficiency.
I am enlightened to hear Shri Prashant Kishore. Excellent Enterprising Emerging Evolving Political Endeavor 💐🙏
Never in my wildest dreams I would have imagined someone asking the country's premier political strategist about SUCCESSION.
P.S. Great content as usual.
Succession the show??
@@parikshitshukla2245 yeah
@@wrestlinginfodude2644 can u post the time stamp brother? Thanks.
@@parikshitshukla2245 1:02:05
Thanks
are you in Facebook/Instagram?
PK is far far ahead of many Lutyens journos and Andolanjivis in understanding politics..
Andolanjivi mane monoj ji?
When a bhakt tells he is a bhakt without telling you he is a bhakt
And will probably soon outdo the sasta chanakya and Camerajivi too.
@@aviralmittal89 only a liberandu would reply to such a pleasant comment
True that
One of the brilliant interview so far on indian political space..amazing
Most engaging Off the Cuff so far. Thank you The Print and Thank you SG.
thank you to the print for uploading this vdo.. & prashant kishor sir thank you for teaching us that what our ideology must be ,
this video specially for those who wants to understand the Indian politics briefly ❣️
He cannot be a politician but can act as an advisor.
Brilliant! Such a enlightening conversation.
Two of my favorite political analysts offering new insights into so many relevant issue backed by data.
Was a pleasure hearing to both.
Time Stamps makes this so much better. Thanks for the change
Very engaging and thought provoking interview..
The best political interview till date on OTC! It was treat to hear Prashant...! Great job Shekhar for bringing in such a personality and having a best conversation....
And the fact is more Modi supporters listen to this interview to know about their upcoming challenge
The ultimate feather in one's professional cap is when your rivals follow your work out of respect. I'm sure it's a great feeling much more than money and stuff.
Jai Modi
@@sudhirbector that proves a poll strategist creates more intrest than opposition leader. That proves capabilities of opposition.
Mind blowing speech by Prashanth Kishore ji. We loved every second of it. Well said. Salute to The Print and it's team.
The best off the cuff I have seen. Simply captivating !
One of the best political interviews I have watched in a long time.
This sir seems to answer even 8 interviewers at a time, it is what we call in Telugu as ashtavadanam. Great PK sir
Always pleasure to watch this man. One of the best political analysts.
I was really looking forward to it. In the future, if Hindi is being used, subtitles in English can be given for people like me
Agreed....
Yes, sub titles should be provided
Or you may watch his 2 hours long interview on India Today 👍
So vast and deep knowledge pk has .no mixing of words .no confusion in his expression .hats off.God bless him and his idealogies
Excellent analysis by Prashanth Kishore. He will succeed in any area except politics.
Why is that ?
@@anshumandwivedi4528 He is too straight forward, in my assessment.
Fantastic interview! 1 hour plus just flew by. Thank you Print and Shekhar ji.
Hello Sir... If you could ask PK, "why mamta and not kejriwal?", that would be great... Thanks
Are you live in Delhi ?
If you live there ,you know ground reality.
Delhi Govt spending thousands of crores on Advertisement since many years .
I voted AK but it was my biggest mistake in my life.
@@vishnusundesha5862
This is a Lie.. I have been born and brought up In Dehli
AAP is by far better than cong and BJP for that matter..
They have improved the standards of education , health care..
Water , electricity services too..
It isn't perfect.. But certainly better than what the other two parties offer
@@ragnar6592 Not at all !
AK Education Model following Late Mrs Dixit Model. Honestly speaking, Sheila Dixit Govt was excellent in most field but her govt was very corrupt. Her govt not spent too much on Advertisement. Why Delhi govt give advertisement relating to Delhi govt to newspaper of other states ? On Electricity issue ,I felt no difference. Delhi is National Capital & obviously it is available 24×7 from Decade.
Too much advertisement expenses.
Hi vishnu.. Actually i used to be a student in Delhi University.... Free electricity, free water and mohalla clinic really helped me with my budget despite coming from an upper middle class family.... So i think its impact on lower income groups would be huge.....that being said.... They have miles to go
@@vishnusundesha5862
Shelia Dixie certainly built schools.. But the improvement in terms of infrastructure, Desks .. The actual curriculum was done by AAP.. Even kejriwal's biggest opponent themselves accept this.
Melania Trump should have visited state of Art schools in UP rather..
About Advertisements Yogi ' 2 page advertisements.. are you blind here.. spending 500 crore .. RTI revals 700 cr by bjp govt.
If you want to criticize Ads that's a seperate issue.. But should question all parties
Kudos Shekhar Gupta for the right directions, driving it. It got Prashant, the fabulous, to get candid.
Prashant went away from his, by now recited replies. Not his fault because the questions were not recited for
Hi shekhar, thank you so much for bringing PK , as I was waiting since long time to see this जुगलबंदी between both of you.
You was a bit sarcastic with him but over all episode is great feast about Indian politics with is very diverse according state wise & Pk has good enough understanding due to data & statistics which he has collected.
Questions from Neelam also were quite remarkable & to the point.
Once again, Shekhar, thank you & to your smart team....well done 😇🙏👍
This man is humble and able to stick with the truth. Having a fresh pair of eyes and clarity of thought and then the leadership bestowing their trust on this person is a good strategy.
One great interview. Lots of insights in to politics for ordinary Indians. Sure, the Congress is really brain dead. Can't imagine India in their hands, especially during these trying times and world situation.
As young 20yr kid, I love to listen this guy 😍 he has vision in his eyes for nation his knowledge, ability and vision and roadmap to change nation is amazing. I hope he will be one of the biggest nation leader rather than political leader in our country in future . It will be great to watch out for Prashant Kishore. Great interview Print. Kuddos to you guys
