Congress Will Not Return to Power for 30 Years: Amit Shah Lashes Out at Rahul Gandhi and AAP

Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a scathing attack on the Congress and AAP during a public rally in Delhi, predicting a long political drought for the opposition and inaugurating crucial water projects worth Rs 8,941 crore for Yamuna cleanup.

Addressing a public gathering in the national capital, Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a sharp and aggressive offensive against opposition parties, specifically targeting the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party. Shah made a categorical prediction, stating that due to its persistent negative politics, the Congress party will not be in a position to win any elections even by the year 2030 and over the next 30 years. He asserted that whenever the party faces defeat, it immediately resorts to questioning democratic and constitutional institutions.

Rebuttal on Rahul Gandhi and Vote Theft Allegations

Sharpening his attack on Rahul Gandhi regarding the repeated claims of vote theft, Shah alleged that this rhetoric is merely a calculated shield designed to protect the vote bank of infiltrators. He maintained that the citizens of the country have entirely rejected negative and divisive politics, pushing opposition parties further into political oblivion. Shah remarked that the opposition praises constitutional bodies when victorious, but points fingers at the Election Commission the moment electoral defeat strikes.

Leaders claim the opposition won't win for decades, but politics can shift much faster than anyone expects.

Sandeep Yadav@sandeep-yadav·30m ago

Ravikash, forget the thirty-year prediction; do you think the 8,941 crore Yamuna cleaning budget will actually show on ground this time, or just wash away on paper?

Karan Malhotra@karan-malhotra·51m ago

Claiming Congress won't win for thirty years is just standard political rhetoric. Yamuna cleanup and big development promises only pop up right before elections; the rest of the time, people just live on unkept promises.

Rohan Verma@rohan-verma·50m ago

Karan, you're spot on. Having seen the Yamuna banks in Delhi myself, things never seem to actually improve.
