Amit Shah Slams Rahul Gandhi Over SIR Protests, CEC Campaign And 2029 Defeat

A political war of words has intensified between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress-led opposition over the campaign targeting Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the special intensive revision exercise. Union Home Minister Amit Shah targeted Rahul Gandhi, asking him to introspect over continuous electoral defeats instead of blaming the special intensive revision. Amit Shah alleged that the Congress is using the revision issue to shield intruders and warned that the party should prepare for a fourth consecutive defeat in the 2029 general elections. Meanwhile, Congress leader Pawan Khera questioned whether the 2029 victory claim is based on the Chief Election Commissioner continuing in office. Rahul Gandhi affirmed that the opposition's fight will persist until Gyanesh Kumar resigns, asserting that the Election Commission has been turned into a toy. The opposition also challenged the government to disclose the number of intruders marked and deported rather than attempting to mislead the public.
