Political strategist Prashant Kishor recently found himself in a heated argument with veteran journalist Karan Thapar during an interview. The altercation centered around Thapar's allegation that Kishor had predicted a Congress defeat in the 2022 Himachal Pradesh elections.
Visibly upset, Kishor vehemently denied Thapar's claims and demanded video evidence to support the allegation. Thapar cited online news reports, which Kishor dismissed, insisting on visual proof of his supposed prediction. Kishor declared that he would quit politics if Thapar could produce any such video evidence, rejecting text reports from newspapers and websites as unreliable.
"Newspapers can write anything; show me where I have said something? what I say, show me the words," asserted Kishor, who leads the Bihar-based Jan Suraaj party.Kishor challenged Thapar to either present a video of his statement or apologize publicly if he failed to do so. "If I have said Congress will be routed in Himachal in 2022, I am saying on camera on record I will quit what I do. But if you are wrong and trying to put your perception as my statement then please be man enough to say sorry about it," Kishor stated.
This intense exchange between Kishor and Thapar has quickly gone viral on social media, capturing widespread attention. Kishor further expressed his frustration during the interview, stating, "I don't want to give you the privilege that I said something and he ran out of the interview. I can deal with you and four like you. If you don't believe what I am saying, then why are you interviewing me?"
