00:00Amit Shah goes all guns blazing on Congress and Rahul Gandhi.
00:03Congress Party's big vote chore drive at Home Minister Amit Shah.
00:07Congress says that the irony is that Amit Shah is celebrating pole victories
00:12and Home Minister Amit Shah knows that Modi's position is unstable.
00:17That's a big statement being made by the Congress Party.
00:19Congress goes on to say that the fear in Amit Shah is palpable
00:23and hold an open press conference.
00:26That's the dare that has been given by the Congress to Home Minister Amit Shah
00:30to hold an open press conference.
00:32And Home Minister Amit Shah, remember, calls out Rahul's jhoot ki kunj
00:36and he has accused Rahul Gandhi of shielding intruders
00:39and he also told Rahul Gandhi to introspect on the losses
00:43and not blame the Election Commission for their losses,
00:47after which the Congress Party has hinted back saying
00:49that Prime Minister Modi's position is unstable
00:53and they've also dared the Home Minister to hold an open press conference.

01:37And my colleague Amit Bhadwaj is now joining us on this story.
01:41Amit, a very good morning to you.
01:42So now, Home Minister Amit Shah has also entered this war of words
01:47between the BJP and the Congress over alleged vote-chori.
01:51But Amit Shah has made a very crucial point that the opposition is blaming the SIR,
01:56is questioning the SIR.
01:57But even before the SIR was being conducted,
02:00the Congress party was anyway losing in majority of the states.
02:05Good morning, Anjali.
02:06You know, we have seen in the past few days that several of the Partijanta party
02:11spokespersons, senior leaders, including the union ministers,
02:14have been attacking the Congress party.
02:16But yesterday, it was finally Home Minister Amit Shah himself
02:19taking over the Congress party and reminding them of their electoral track record
02:24in states such as Gujarat, where they have been in power for the longest time,
02:29but they have not managed to release assembly elections in the last four decades.
02:33And it is, interestingly, also the state which Rahul Gandhi was speaking about
02:40in his last conference, saying that I couldn't understand the defeat in Gujarat itself.
02:45So it's a point, sensitive point to the Congress party as well.
02:49And the Bharatiya Janta party to the ship, telling that,
02:53look, before accusing the Election Commission of India,
02:56why don't you look at your own electoral record?
02:59Importantly, Home Minister Amit Shah has also claimed that the NDE and the BJP
03:04will get thumping majority in 2029,
03:07which has triggered very angry reactions from the Congress party,
03:10saying that, why are you so confident about it?
03:12What makes you so confident about the 2029 mandate?
03:15Look at the protests that are happening across the country.
03:19So clearly, this war of words is to escalate today,
03:22because you will see more and more Congress leaders
03:25sort of attacking Home Minister Amit Shah,
03:27responding to his claims,
03:29and there could be counterclaims coming in.
03:31But certainly, now, the Bharatiya Janta party
03:34aggressively countering the protests and the campaign
03:36that has been launched against the NDE and the Shumar
03:39by the opposition.
03:40All right, Amit, thank you for those details and for that context.
03:44So, Home Minister Amit Shah has now hit out at the opposition,
03:47specifically the Congress party over the protests against the CEC
03:51and against SIR,
03:53saying that the Congress party has anyway been losing
03:56even before SIR was conducted,
03:58and that the BJP and the NDE will be winning the 2029 elections,
04:04and that the Congress must brace for the 2029 loss.
