KOLKATA: The BJP will not cross double digits in the West Bengal assembly polls, election strategist Prashant Kishor claimed on Monday, making light of the coup Home Minister Amit Shah pulled off with a parade of TMC leaders into the saffron party.
Kishor, who managed Narendra Modi‘s sucessful campaign for prime ministership in 2014, has been roped in by TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee to boost her party’s prospects in the West Bengal assembly polls likely in April-May next year.
Kishor said he will quit Twitter if the saffron party does any better than what he has predicted, setting off a war of words with BJP leaders on the microblogging website.
“For all the hype amplified by a section of supportive media, in reality BJP will struggle to cross double digits in West Bengal,” he tweeted.
“Please save this tweet and if BJP does any better I must quit this space!” Kishore added.
