Amit Shah Bihar Rally: On Friday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) going on in Bihar in view of the assembly elections. Addressing an election rally in Sitamarhi, Bihar, Shah alleged that Rahul Gandhi and the opposition are opposing SIR because the infiltrators are their vote bank.
Shah said, 'Should the names of infiltrators be removed from the voter list before the Bihar elections or not? Our Constitution does not give freedom to vote in India to those who were not born here.'

Infiltrators are their vote bank
Amit Shah criticized Rahul Gandhi, saying he roams around holding the Constitution but should actually read it. Shah accused him of opposing the SIR because infiltrators form his vote bank, urging him to end vote bank politics. He reminded Rahul that voter list purification is not new, as it was initiated by his great-grandfather. Shah further alleged that Rahul is already preparing excuses for losing the Bihar elections, pointing to his party’s repeated electoral defeats.
Our great-grandfather started it
Addressing the public, the Home Minister said, "Rahul Gandhi should stop vote bank politics. SIR is not a new process; it was your great-grandfather Jawaharlal Nehru who started it, and the last time it happened was in 2003." Now, since you are losing one election after another, you are already trying to justify your defeat in Bihar.
Terrorists Fled to Pakistan Then
The Home Minister said that the country's PM, Modi, is committed to the security of India. There was a time when Congress was ruling India; terrorists used to carry out bomb blasts and run away to Pakistan, and there was no one to question them. Modi ji's government came. When there was an attack in Uri, we did a surgical strike; when there was an attack in Pulwama, we did an air strike, and we responded to the Pahalgam attack with Operation Sindoor.
