'Those RATTLED With My Assessment.. Keep Plenty Of Water Handy On June 4': Prashant Kishor Reacts After Video Of Heated Exchange With Karan Thapar Goes Viral

Political strategist Prashant Kishor got into a heated argument with veteran journalist Karan Thapar during a recent interview over allegedly predicting Congress' loss in 2022 Himachal Pradesh elections.

A visibly upset Kishor vociferously denied the claims that Thapar made and asked him to show him a video of predicting a Congress rout. Thapar, on the other hand, cited online news reports which was outrightly refuted by Kishor. He also said he would quit politics if Thapar was able to show any video evidence of what he said about the Congress two years ago and wouldn't believe text reports that were published in newspaper and websites.

"Newspaper can write anything, show me where I have said something...what I say show me the words," the Bihar-based Jan Suraaj chief asserted.

Show Me Video Of What I Said or Apologise: Prashant Kishor

Kishor dared The Wire journalist to show him a video statement of his to prove his claims or apologise publicly if he failed to do so.

"What I said show me the words..after I go from here, what you write in your news publication is none of my business..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 said.

This is not the first time Karan Thapar has interviewed Prashant Kishor, howver, the video of the verbal duel between the two this time around has now gone massively viral on social media.

Kishor also went on to say that "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."
