In 2015 Bihar Assembly polls, Mr. Mohan Bhagwat who is the chief of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh made a single statement , that has damaged the prospects of the BJP very seriously .
Chief Mohan Bhagwat said that Reservation should be on economic basis in an interview. Nitish Kumar’s strategists were really quick to give it an electoral spin. Prashant Kishor is the man behind this clever move, he was the poll strategist of the chief minister. Recently Prashant Kishor is giving his services to Congress party in UP, Punjab and Uttarakhand for the upcoming elections.
This time Prashant Kishor is planning to give a similar spin to party on the recent statement of AAP leader Manish Sisodia’s on Arvind Kejriwal. He has started a debate on outsider vs insider in Punjab.
Manish Sisodia is the , Delhi’s deputy chief minister, on 10th January he said that people of Punjab should cast their votes assuming that Arvind Kejriwal will be the CM of Punjab. His comments drew very strong reactions from the ruling party SAD-BJP and Congress.
In Punjab upcoming assembly elections AAP has posed really tough challenge to both Congress as well as SAD- BJP alliance. So Prashant Kishor and Punjab Congress team have chalked out a plan to use this statement said by Sisodia outsider versus insider and take it to the public.
Congress now wants to make a strong pitch in the state with this campaign song that underlines the new theme insider vs outsider. Congress is also doing massive campaign through Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp to evoke the Punjabiyat narrative.
Will it work against Badals? The Punjab Congress has an answer to this question as well. They have also coined a slogan to counter SAD and the Badals.Badals are punjabis as well as are insiders but we are looking at the anti-incumbency factor against the SAD- BJP alliance. So the people of the Punjab wants a Punjabi to lead it and it’s Punjab da Captain Amarinder Singh.
