Congress will lose 29 LS poll: Shah takes a dig at Rahul
AHMEDABAD: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said a party wont get votes if it opposes everything people like, quipping that it was beyond his capacity to make Rahul Gandhi understand this simple logic because even Congress leaders had failed to grasp it. He made the remarks while addressing a gathering in a village near Ahmedabad city. During a recent debate in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi asked me a strange question: Why does only my party lose elections every time? Instead of asking people, he asked me. Rahul baba, you will get the answer if you understand these two initiatives that I have launched here, Shah said. The BJP veteran sharply remarked, Gandhi should not get tired of losing because the Congress will definitely lose the upcoming Assembly polls in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. And in the 2029 Lok Sabha elections too, the BJP will emerge victorious under Prime Minister Narendra Modis leadership, he asserted. The reason behind our success is that people are connected with our principles. The Congress opposed the Ram Mandir, the surgical strike on terrorists, the removal of Article 370, the Uniform Civil Code, the Act against triple talaq and our campaign to drive out illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators, Shah noted, adding, Now tell me. If you oppose what people like, how will you get votes? But it is beyond my capacity to make Rahul baba understand such simple logic because even people from the Congress have failed to do so. During the event at Navi Vanzar, he handed sanad (land ownership certificates) to 173 residents. The beneficiaries, originally from Vanzar village on the banks of the Sabarmati River, were resettled in Navi Vanzar after they lost their homes, land and belongings in the devastating floods of 1973. On the occasion, Shah also inaugurated the western trunk line, a drainage network to handle sewage generated by nearly 15 lakh residents living in newly developed areas such as Shela, South Bopal, Shantipura and Thaltej. Dwelling on the trunk line project, Shah said, It will benefit nearly 15 lakh people living in western parts of the city, and the project will solve the issues of drainage overflow in some areas. Though people had faced issues due to the lack of such a sewer line, no one protested. The government still undertook this work and finished it before the deadline. Rahul Gandhi needs to understand this. Instead, he is trying to decode the special intensive revision of electoral rolls (SIR), which is not his cup of tea, said Shah, who represents the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha seat.
