Shah vs Rahul: Facts win, Congress narrative exposed

Congress cornered in Lok Sabha as Amit Shah presents facts, rebuts Rahul Gandhi point-by-point

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday praised Home Minister Amit Shah for what he called an “outstanding” and fact-driven speech in Parliament, where Shah dismantled the Opposition’s allegations on India’s electoral system and exposed what the government termed as the Congress party’s “deliberate campaign of misinformation.”

In a post on X, PM Modi said Shah had presented “concrete facts” while countering Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s claims of “Vote Chori”. Modi said the Home Minister’s detailed intervention highlighted the strength of India’s electoral architecture and “exposed the lies” repeatedly pushed by the Opposition to undermine public trust.

Shah’s address came amid a heated Lok Sabha debate on election reforms. While Congress members attempted to disrupt his speech, the Home Minister systematically rebutted every claim made by Rahul Gandhi, accusing the Congress of spreading falsehoods to compensate for its electoral irrelevance.

Congress’s claims collapse under scrutiny

During his address, Shah debunked Rahul Gandhi’s viral claim that over 500 voters in Haryana were registered under the same residential number. Citing an Election Commission clarification, he explained that “House No. 265” was in fact a large ancestral property housing multiple families across generations — a fact conveniently ignored by Rahul Gandhi.

Shah also revealed that a voter from Bihar had come forward, stating that he was pressured by Congress leaders to make false statements regarding alleged voter list anomalies.

Shah turns spotlight on Congress’s own history of electoral manipulation

In one of the sharpest moments of the session, Shah reminded the House of Congress’s own record of undemocratic practices. He noted that after Independence, when regional Congress committees overwhelmingly favoured Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel for Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru — who received only two votes — was elevated to the post.

Shah also referenced the 1975 Allahabad High Court judgment that set aside Indira Gandhi’s election victory, triggering the Emergency — one of the darkest periods in Indian democracy.

Opposition uproar fails to derail Shah’s detailed explanation of electoral safeguards

As Rahul Gandhi repeatedly interrupted, Shah pressed on, explaining the necessity of the Standardised Intensive Revision (SIR) process for cleaning electoral rolls — a mechanism historically initiated under Congress-led governments from Nehru to Rajiv Gandhi.

Shah pointed out that Congress governments regularly conducted SIRs for decades but suddenly began opposing the process only after losing power. He reminded the House that between 2004 and 2025, while Congress was in government for much of that period, no SIR was conducted, leaving voter lists outdated and prone to duplication.

Rejecting Rahul Gandhi’s accusation regarding legal protection for Election Commissioners, Shah countered that it was the Congress itself that created similar immunities for the Prime Minister’s office.

Throughout the uproar, Shah asserted control, telling the House, “I will decide the order of my speech,” underscoring his experience and refusal to yield to political theatrics.
