'Get ready to lose in 2029’: Shah warns Rahul with Congress poll history lesson

NEW DELHI: Union home minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi should “introspect” rather than blame the Election Commission (EC) or the SIR exercise for the opposition party’s electoral setbacks, citing its defeats in the recent byelections and the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation polls."I also wish to ask Rahul ji: is this the result of an 'SIR'? You dismiss the popularity of the BJP and Modi ji by attributing it to an 'SIR'. You need to introspect," Shah said.Shah also highlighted the Congress's continued poll losses in Gujarat, pointing to its defeat in the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation polls, held in the state capital.“In a major state (Gujarat) where you (Rahul Gandhi) once held power, you have failed to win a single election in 41 years.
