Rahul Gandhi said, “Amit Shah ji was very nervous yesterday. He used the wrong language; his hands were trembling…He is under tremendous mental pressure. Everybody saw this yesterday. What I asked him, he did not answer directly. He gave no proof. I have directly challenged him to come on the ground and let us discuss all my press conferences in the Parliament. I got no answer.”

He reiterated the same in a post on X. He posted a video of the Union Home Minister on the social media platform X and said, “Amit Shah’s use of the word ‘sala’ in Parliament exposes his nervousness and dishonesty regarding vote theft.”

Tensions escalated yesterday during the electoral reforms discussion in the Lok Sabha with a direct exchange of pointed remarks between Amit Shah and the Leader of Opposition over vote theft.

Congress leader challenged the Home Minister to hold a debate on the claims of irregularities in the electoral rolls and answer his questions. He said, “…Let’s have a debate on my press conference. Amit Shah ji, I challenge you to have a debate on the 3 PCs.”

Shah responded firmly, asserting that SIR was essential to sanitise electoral rolls. He hit out at Rahul Gandhi saying, “…Parliament won’t function as per your wish. I’ll decide my order of speech…”
