BJP Will Get 200-220 Seats, NDA Below 272; Dictators End Badly: Finance Minister’s Husband

BJP will get 200-220 seats, NDA below 272; dictators usually end up in handcuffs or coffins: Finance Minister's husband, the author and economist, Parakala Prabhakar, to Karan Thapar for The Wire.
...........................................
The respected author, economist and commentator Parakala Prabhakar, who is also Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s husband, has forecast that the BJP will get between 200-220 seats whilst the NDA will fall below the majority mark. His figure for the NDA could be as low as 255. When asked if the BJP performs as poorly as he expects what future does he see for Narendra Modi, Dr. Parakala said history shows that “almost all dictators end up in handcuffs or coffins”.
In a 35-minute interview to Karan Thapar for The Wire, Dr. Parakala said he expects to see a non-BJP led and non-NDA led government after June the 5th. In other words, an Opposition alliance.
I do not want to steal Dr. Parakala’s thunder nor do I want to run the risk of misconstruing what he has said or wrongly paraphrasing or précising it. I think you should see this interview for yourself.
Dr. Parakala shared his forecast for each of the states of south India (Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka) as well as for practically all the states of north and east India. He speaks individually about UP, Bihar, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Haryana and Delhi. He also speaks individually about Maharashtra, Bengal, Odisha, Gujarat and collectively the North East.
To sum up what he says (but you must see the interview for the details) Dr. Parakala believes the BJP could lose between 80-95 seats in north India and up to a further 15 seats in south India. If you take the average figure of 87 for north India that means the BJP could lose up to 102 seats compared to the 303 it won in 2019.
This is why Dr. Parakala says he expects the BJP to win between 200-220 seats whilst the NDA will fall below a majority, perhaps by a significant margin.

Dr. Parakala I am very happy for your professional conduct in the interview. You have been very suggestive of all your views. I wish India has many such people who fearlessly guide the next generations while they need to take decisions on who should govern them. Unfortunately too many things combining a massive illiterate population enabled this fiasco of a Modi- Shah regime. A reasonably educated intellectual like Arvind Kejriwal became a victim of his own doing, deceived by cunning RSS groups. Without judging if Kejriwal and AAP are corrupt in the on going investigation which I believe the party most likely is, he is culpable to an extent to bring personalized battles in politics against the most of illiterates governing the country and has equally been responsible for the current state of Anarchy. Hope India recovers from the crisis on 5th June by the formation of a new government that will slowly learn to address the real problems of the society. Jai Hind 🙏🇮🇳

strong opposition needed for any ruling party - ruling party too should honour the public verdict and never pull legs of oppn which is against poll morales

If Modi ji is Dictator, than how come the wife of an Individual expressing views such as these can be Finance minister. Bigoted intellectuals who never executed any projects better they focus on their existence in the world becoming more and more aspirational for people who are ready to work hard.

This kind of interviewed , the Nation needs the most…lots of appreciation from Shillong

[@arunardhanari9342]

The first Time I heard the interviews given by Mr Prakala Prabhakar, I was actualy shocked on the numbers and data thrown by him. I felt hes one of the opposition created narrative. However after following him for almost 2 odd months in various platforms and also reading his book. Based on facts today in ground, I should say here his numbers what he mentioned few months back much before elections, seem to be the ground reality today. He felt the pulse, His economics analysis and data points are remarkable too. Thanks for the enlightenment Mr Prabhakar. Please support your fellow country men with such great number based analysis.

[@drnarasimhamurthybhamidipa4718]

I feel BJP may get a maximum of 200 MP seats and its partners may get a maximum of 30 seats!! NDA may get a maximum of 230 seats, well short of halfway mark??? In other words , NDA will not be able to form the Government???

Do economists make good pollsters? This professor speaks without any data, only his wish. What was his prediction in 2019 to know how credible he is.😂
