Political strategist Prashant Kishor predicted that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would do well in the 2018 Lok Sabha elections, particularly in the eastern and southern states. Strongholds of the opposition parties, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu, are places where Prashant Kishor anticipated the BJP would emerge victorious.
Prashant Kishor recently made the prediction that the BJP, with a significant increase in its vote share in Tamil Nadu, can emerge as the leading party with the greatest number of seats in southern and eastern India in an interview with the news agency PTI.
"I saw the BJP in double digits in terms of vote share in Tamil Nadu for the first time," Kishor told PTI, repeating remarks he made a year ago. It is significant that the BJP will either be Telangana's leading party or its second.
The electoral strategist went on, "They will undoubtedly be the top team in Odisha." You would be shocked since, in my opinion, the BJP will most likely win the most seats in West Bengal.
In the 520-seat Lok Sabha, the BJP has predicted that it will win more than 400 seats; however, Prashant Kishor thinks the saffron party is unlikely to win more than 370 seats.
In the 543-member Lok Sabha, Telangana, Odisha, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, and Kerala collectively hold 204 members. However, the BJP was unable to secure 50 seats in all these states combined, having won 29 and 47 seats in 2014 and 2019, respectively.
