Published on May 5, 2024

In a scathing critique, Union Home Minister Amit Shah accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of constantly shifting constituencies due to the fear of electoral losses. Shah’s remarks were delivered during an election rally campaign in Gujarat’s Bodeli.

Gandhi’s Nomination from Rae Bareli Sparks Controversy:

The criticism follows Rahul Gandhi’s decision to file his nomination from Rae Bareli, a stronghold of the Congress party in Uttar Pradesh. Gandhi’s move to contest Rae Bareli is seen as an attempt to maintain the family’s political legacy in the region.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Rahul Gandhi contested from both Amethi and Wayanad constituencies. While he secured victory in Wayanad, he faced defeat in Amethi against Union Minister Smriti Irani.

Amit Shah Allegations Against Gandhi:

Amit Shah accused Rahul Gandhi of evading defeat by switching from Amethi to Wayanad after losing to Smriti Irani. With challenges looming in Wayanad, Gandhi’s decision to contest from Rae Bareli has drawn further criticism from Shah.

Shah criticized the INDIA alliance’s proposed “rotation formula” for the prime ministerial post, questioning the alliance’s ability to provide effective leadership. He doubts the alliance’s capability to handle crises such as COVID-19 and terrorism with a rotating premiership.

Amit Shah Against Congress and Defense of BJP’s Stance:

Amit Shah accused the Congress of attempting to sow division between North and South India and refuted opposition claims about the BJP’s stance on reservations. He emphasized that under Modi’s leadership, reservation policies for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes would remain untouched.

Shah underscored the importance of stability in governance, portraying Rahul Gandhi’s constituency changes as disrupting India’s political stability. He reiterated the country’s support for re-electing Narendra Modi as Prime Minister, emphasizing continuity and decisive leadership.
