'SIR began in 2024, Congress has been losing polls for decades': Amit Shah slams Rahul Gandhi over anti-CEC protests

  • On Tuesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah predicted the NDA will secure a massive majority in 2029, criticizing Rahul Gandhi and claiming the Congress party has consistently lost elections since Gandhi became its leader.
  • Recently, the Congress party failed to win a single seat in by-elections held in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Puducherry, while the BJP won Rejinagar by over 75,000 votes.
  • The Bharatiya Janata Party captured 90% of municipal corporations and 66% of councils in Rajasthan, while winning 38 out of 44 seats in the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation with a 10% vote share increase.
  • Dismissing claims that an 'SIR' drives BJP popularity, Shah asked, "I also wish to ask Rahul ji: is this the result of an 'SIR'?" while noting the SIR only came into effect after 2024.
  • Decades of defeat have plagued the Congress party in Bengal, Tripura, and Gujarat, where Shah noted they faced losses for three, four, or five decades and failed to win a single election in 41 years.
