From Gujarat to bypolls, Amit Shah uses BJP wins to hit back at Rahul on SIR
Shah said BJP wins in Gujarat and recent bypolls show public support, and he urged Congress to stop blaming voter-roll revisions for its losses.
- The Bharatiya Janata Party retained control of the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation on Tuesday, winning 38 of 44 seats, while securing 90 of 104 total seats across three Gujarat local bodies.
- Union Home Minister Amit Shah utilized these results to challenge Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, urging the Congress party to introspect on electoral losses rather than blame the Special Intensive Revision .
- Shah argued the Congress faces a "crushing defeat" in the 2029 general elections, citing recent by-election successes in West Bengal and Tripura while asserting voters have rejected the party's "negative politics."
- Amid ongoing protests over alleged "vote theft," Shah accused the Congress party of seeking to protect "infiltrators" under the guise of the SIR, a strategy he claimed voters have understood.
- The Congress party has failed to win a single election in Gujarat for 41 years, prompting Shah to predict a massive majority for the National Democratic Alliance in 2029.
