Results “A Very Clear Tight Slap on PM’s Face”; New Govt Won’t Last Long: Finance Minister’s Husband

The results are "a very clear, very tight slap on PM's face"; the new government may not survive vote of confidence: Finance Minister's husband, Economist and Author, Parakala Prabhakar
...........................................
In an interview to discuss the election results the economist, author and political commentator, Parakala Prabhakar, who is also Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s husband, has said the results are “a very clear and a very tight slap on the face of the Prime Minister and his Party and his way of doing things.” Describing Narendra Modi as “a baahubali kind of person”, Dr. Parakala said: “The people of India have said very clearly they did not like what Narendra Modi was doing, his agenda and the way he ran the government and conducted the campaign.”
In a 30-minute interview to Karan Thapar for The Wire, Dr. Parakala said he is not at all sure how long the new Narendra Modi government will last. To begin with, he questioned whether it will even be formed and then, if it is, he questioned whether it will survive a vote of confidence in the Lok Sabha. If it does he said there is a very high possibility that in the next few months the Prime Minister may be changed, either under pressure from his own Party or the RSS or NDA allies. And there is even the possibility that Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar could walk out.
Dr. Parakala Prabhakar said the challenge facing the Prime Minister is a simple but monumental one: “Can old Mr. Modi become new Mr. Modi?” When asked if this is possible, Dr. Parakala, in turn, asked a question, have you ever heard of a wolf in sheep’s clothing actually imagining himself to be a sheep? Dr. Parakala said Mr. Modi has always been a wolf in wolf’s clothing. This analogy was his way of explaining that he does not believe Mr. Modi is capable of a comprehensive makeover of his style of political functioning, character and personality.
I will stop there because I think it’s important you should see this interview for yourself. Beyond giving you the main headlines, I do not want to run the risk of wrongly paraphrasing or précising Dr. Parakala. He has been extremely courageous and outspoken and has said a lot and it’s only fair and proper that you should be allowed to hear him yourself. I assure you that every moment of this 30-minute interview is worth hearing. Few people understand the top leaders of the BJP better than Dr. Parakala and fewer have spoken so candidly about how they see the future of the new government that could be in the making.
Finally, Dr. Parakala was perhaps the first analyst to predict that Narendra Modi would lead his Party to its worst election results in 10 years and lose its Lok Sabha majority.

Good, experienced, insightful talk. As a doctor , I believe Mr Narendra Modi is a megalomaniac, suffering from Obsessive Psychosis. The so called mainstream media for the past 5 years had added many things into his personality instead of getting him right. It looks more of him to surpass Nehruji,that I too had become the PM for a 3rd term. So sad. Instead of doing all these things, if he resigns even now, people will remember him for the honesty atleast now. But going by his personality, it cannot and will not happen.

Dr Prakala is a man of great intelligence and intellect. I do admire his courage and concern for our Country.

These 10yrs have been the darkest period of independent India. This period should not be forgotten so that we don't forget the lessons of history.

In fact it’s a slap on Rahul Gandhi’s face . He is dying to.become PM . But again back to the opposition He just can’t get enough votes. Has been rejected by the people of India. Now -15 years he will sit in the opposition.

“God may have turned his back on his messenger?” Fav question of the interview 😂

[@shaliniprabhakar6258]

What a fall..! He made a respectable gentleman a "pappu" spending his ill-gotten wealth on defaming n trolling him.. Now turned himself into a joker..😮

[@reach2prasanna]

You do know that Rahul Gandhi isn't all that a gentleman as you claim right? The lowlife Revanna was in coalition with Congress since 2018 when he started making videos, Congress decided to release those only during election. Why? Congress distributed cards to poor people in UP, Karnataka and MP promising those who vote for the INDI Alliance will get 1 lakh rupees, do you think that's a mark of a gentleman. Rahul, just like Modi is just another shrewd, twisted politician.

[@yashaswini287]

Respectable gentleman? ......Who speaks I'll about one's own country govt in foreign land? Who distributes fakes promises 🤦‍♀️

[@Flowerwater646]

He felt offended some years back while he was interviewing.....that was in his mind. So now he is smiling 😅

[@odelleberlie5296]

Thank you for the very respectful, in-depth analysis of the results/outcomes of 2024 Elections !!

[@kaushal9566]

As I don't like BJP RSS. I like Nithin Gadkari as a PM. Not even once Gadkari spoke about Hindu Muslim hated dialogues

[@EdwardBeGaminG]

Not to forget his contribution in transportation infrastructure of india. Mr gadkari is indeed a gem🙏

[@zikrakhan503]

Yes he's far wiser then the others who bark around

[@Letstalkaboutit-vividly]

@kaushal9566 I like Gadkari too, because he never involves himself in hate speech and does his work quietly. But off late I have been thinking, the fact that he remains silent about the extremist RSS ideology since he is himself an RSS commando, makes me wonder if he actually supports the communal discord but is just too smart and cunning and therefore, never speaks about it himself.... making him a very sneaky politician... hopefully that's not the case, n he is like another Vajpayee

[@SNair-tc3yw]

He is very diplomatic..has friendly relationships with almost all political parties....at he same time very shrewd politician...ofcourse all credit to the highways,the infrastructure under his ministry....but the cag reports says another story...eg certain express highways built...so nobody is that clean but still he doesn't speak rubbish like modi...he is very clever when he answers questions...

[@vjhardy100]

Are you a psychologist??! What you're saying is actually technically true. And when a narcissist is cornered, he/she's likely to unravel abd take unexpected and irrational decisions, like declare an emergency in this particular situation. Scary. Reminds me of the scene from the film Downfall

[@edwinrodrigues9747]

​@@vjhardy100ALSO NOW HE WILL BE FORCED TO HAVE PRESS CONFERENCE AND NO MORE GODI MEDIA INTERVIEWS 😂.

[@aala123]

​@@vjhardy100By not giving a brute majority to the BJP, Indians have saved themselves by saving the constitution. It won't be easy for bjp to declare an emergency in this tenure. They will barely survive.

[@anooptiwari7603]

Sir Thapar could you please invite PK Pandey to your studios once? He must apologise for the exit poll fraud racket that he ran for previous 10 years. He should also apologise for being deliberately rude and intemperate with you. We want to see him cry the way Mr. Gupta did in studios. All of these mandate brokers must be held accountable!

I was desperately waiting for the interface between this duo since 4th June Thank you so much Karan Thappar and Mr Prakala Prabhakaran for the great insight as always❤

[@Mishraravi2]

I’m listening to Mr Prabhakara’s interview since beginning of elections, very sound person, talks in great sense and with great artefacts. Salute to this down to earth man. And good slap on Mr Mahamanav’s face, he must have recalled by now what democracy means.

[@sherilsharma3486]

I just loved the interview 😂😂😂👏👏👏 His downfall was calling himself sent by god .

[@trivikramrajendraprabhu6151]

Yes it is a tight slap for PM and current government, also it is a chance for the government to retrospect and deliver what people needs along with countries needs. I see this as a great opportunity to be not complacent and at the same time be aware of what peoples need are

[@avihawomi8345]

Thank you Sir Karan for conducting interview with Sir Parakala.

[@vijayghatage5780]

I am from Maharashtra.Huge respect to this seemingly perfect gentleman, and intellectual. He is not husband of FM (by fluke), more correct would be she is wife of this person who is thousands of miles ahead of his lady.

What do you want? That India goes back to its old ways. That woukd suit many powerful forces

[@Adi-ny4kg]

Karan sir respect your fight to save our country. Sir Ten years ago I think you were alone to start the crusade on KZbin. Then slowly others joined in. You patients and determination for ten years is really commendable. Where we the citizens had lost all hope. Thank You.

[@Meerkat-lm3ub]

If Mr. Karan started fighting exactly ten years ago then he is a born anti-bjp. Not a fighter for democracy. Because we have seen the plight of democracy in the past very well.

[@arunfucqeer9154]

I SALUTE THIS MAN! SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HUSBAND & WIFE!? GODBLESS HIM & HIS FAMILY! AMEN!

[@agnescraig2912]

It is something of an anathema in India for couples to have their own critical thinking minds like Dr. Parbarkh. His wife is such a sycophant to Modi.
