There An Anti-Wave Against TMC in West Bengal Said Prashant Kishor
Several alleged audio clips of polling strategist Prashant Kishor went viral after the head of I-PAC allegedly claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was very popular in Bengal.
The Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC) headed by Kishor, is in charge of TMC’s election campaign for the ongoing Assembly elections.
In a public talk at the Clubhouse, Kishor allegedly claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was a popular face in Bengal and that his popularity rivaled that of West Bengal’s chief minister, Mamata Banerjee.
“If you take a poll to find the best leader in Bengal, then Modi Ji is equal to Mamta, if not higher in terms of popularity”: #Prashanti

Kishor further said that there is an anti-incumbent wave against the TMC in West Bengal.
Kishor also reportedly said that Congress, TMC, and the left had taken pleasure in appeasing the Muslim community in Bengal to win votes in the Assembly elections.

BJP leader Amit Malviya mocking Kishor tweeted: “The choice of TMC was simply ruled out! “
It’s open?
That moment when the most strategic Mamata Banerjee realized that the Club House room was open and her admissions were being heard by the general public and not just a handful of Lutyens journalists.
There was a deafening silence …

However, reacting to this, Kishor said: ” I’m glad that BJP is taking my talk more seriously than the words of their own leaders! They should show courage and share the entire chat rather than get excited about the selective use of parts of it. I have said this before and repeating again: BJP not CROSS 100 in WB. Period.”

Although Kishor claimed that only selective audio clips are shared online, he claimed that Mamata Banerjee will win the Assembly elections in West Bengal, while the BJP will win no more than 100 seats.
