Prashant Kishor credits BJP for shifting election goalpost to 370 seats

Election strategist Prashant Kishor has predicted victory for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi party in the ongoing Lok Sabha polls.

In an interview with NDTV, Kishor credited the BJP for shifting the election discourse to '400 paar' instead of just crossing the halfway mark in the Lower House.

"In the last three-four months, the discussion has centred around '370' and '400 paar'. Consider it a BJP strategy or Opposition's weakness, but the BJP has entirely shifted the goalpost from 272 to 370. This has benefitted the BJP. Now, no one is saying Modi ji will lose, they are saying they may not get 370 seats," Kishor said.

Voting for 543 seats of the Lok Sabha is being held in seven phases, with five of them already complete. The results will be declared on June 4.
