‘Congress Losing Since Decades, SIR Started After 2024’: Amit Shah Counters Rahul Gandhi's Allegations Against EC
Shah said the SIR began after 2024 and cited recent state and local poll results as evidence the BJP and NDA remain dominant.
- 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.
