Union Home Minister Amit Shah targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over the defeat of the Congress party in the elections. He said that if a party opposes everything that people like, it will not get votes. He quipped that it was beyond his ability to explain this simple logic to Rahul Gandhi, as even Congress leaders had failed to explain it.
Addressing a public meeting in a village near Ahmedabad city on Sunday (December 28, 2025), Amit Shah said, ‘During the recent debate in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi asked me a strange question that why only his party loses in the elections every time? Instead of asking people, he asked me. Shah said, ‘Rahul Baba, if you understand these two initiatives started by me, you will get the answer.’
Congress will also lose in Tamil Nadu and Bengal elections- Shah
The senior BJP leader said that Rahul Gandhi should not get tired of defeat as Congress will definitely lose in the upcoming Tamil Nadu and West Bengal assembly elections. He claimed that BJP will be victorious in the 2029 Lok Sabha elections also under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Shah said, ‘The reason for our success is that people are connected to our principles. Congress had opposed Ram Mandir, surgical strikes on terrorists, removal of Article 370, Uniform Civil Code, Anti-Triple Talaq Act and our campaign to expel Bangladeshi infiltrators. Now tell me, if you oppose people’s choice, how will you get votes? But it is beyond my capacity to explain this simple logic to Rahul Baba, because even Congress leaders have failed to do so.
Union Minister handed over land ownership certificates to 173 people
During the program organized at Navi Vanzar in Ahmedabad, Shah handed over Sanads (land ownership certificates) to 173 residents. The beneficiaries were originally residents of Vanjar village located on the banks of the Sabarmati river, but were resettled to Navi Vanjar after they lost their houses, land and belongings in the devastating floods of 1973.
On the occasion, Shah also inaugurated the Western Trunk Line, a drainage network built to manage sewage generated by about 15 lakh residents living in newly developed areas like Shela, South Bopal, Shantipura and Thaltej. The Union Home Minister said that these 173 people were shifted to Navi Vanjar when the Congress was in power, but even after 50 years, they did not receive land ownership rights.
