Amit Shah Criticizes Rahul Gandhi, Predicts Congress Defeat in 2029 Elections

Analysed 14 Oct 2026·32 sources analysed·New Delhi, India·Politics
Amit Shah Criticizes Rahul Gandhi, Predicts Congress Defeat in 2029 ElectionsPreviousNext

Union Home Minister Amit Shah criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and the party's repeated electoral defeats, urging introspection rather than blaming the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Shah highlighted BJP's recent victories in Gujarat and other states, predicting another Congress defeat in the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. Rahul Gandhi and the Congress-led INDIA bloc continue protests alleging electoral irregularities, while Shah dismissed these claims and emphasized BJP's sustained public support and electoral strength.
