They Want Ruckus, Not Debate: Amit Shah’s Big Challenge To INDIA Bloc Over Vote Theft, CEC, SIR Row

Amit Shah has thrown down the gauntlet. Speaking at the BJP state working committee meeting in Lucknow, the Union Home Minister declared that the government is ready to convene a special session of Parliament to debate the ‘vote chori’ allegations against the Election Commission. But there is a catch, he says: Rahul Gandhi will never turn up. Shah claims the Congress leader would rather take the issue to the streets than face a parliamentary discussion, and he accused SP chief Akhilesh Yadav of loving political drama too. Likening the Opposition’s attacks to a losing team blaming the umpire, Shah rejected every charge against the poll body. The remarks land a day before the INDIA bloc’s ‘Chalo Dilli’ march to Ramlila Maidan and a symbolic ‘public impeachment’ of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
