00:00Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a blistering counter-attack on the Congress in particular
00:06and the opposition in general accusing them of trying to protect ghuzpaitiyas
00:11or illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators through their attacks on the special intensive revision of the electoral rolls.
00:18He accused Rahul Gandhi of ghuzpaitiya bachao rally at the Ramlila Meidan
00:23to protect what he called was their vote bank.
00:26And he said the catamonk pigeons, giving a breakup of these 13 crore names,
00:32the 13 crore names that have been deleted post the SIR process,
00:36insisting approximately 3 crore absent names were those illegal Bangladeshis
00:43who have now been weeded out of the system.
00:47A words to that effect.
00:48The Home Minister led the Lok Tantra bachao arajata hatao padhyatra
00:53accusing the opposition of trying to protect the infiltrators and win an election through bogus votes.
00:59This, a day after the Congress-led opposition India bloc
01:04carried out their vote bachao, desh bachao rally at Delhi's Ramlila Meidan.
01:11So, Amit Shah branded Rahul Gandhi's Ramlila Meidan rally a ghuzpaitiya bachao rally.
01:17He said infiltrators had become the opposition's main vote bank.
01:23His message was sharp.
01:25Infiltrators will not be permitted to vote in India.
01:29Every single one of them will be identified and removed from the electoral rolls.
01:34Defending the SIR or the Special Intensive Revision of the Electoral Rolls,
01:39Amit Shah said 3 crore infiltrators' names had been struck off.
01:43He rejected Rahul Gandhi's allegations of 13 crore, genuine voter deletion.
01:48He questioned why the Congress party was challenging the electoral process
01:51when Narendra Modi had won elections in 2014, 19 and 24,
01:57all three times before the SIR process even started.
02:01Home Minister Amit Shah then directed his fire at Rahul Gandhi,
02:06accusing him of blaming the EVMs or the Election Commission of India
02:12when the Congress party lost elections,
02:14but crediting voters when the Congress party won elections.
02:17Amit Shah challenged the opposition to a debate.
02:21He said there can be a special parliamentary debate.
02:24He dismissed Rahul Gandhi's leadership with a jibe
02:27that Rahul Gandhi could become a Prime Minister only through a mock parliament.
02:32And he declared that the Congress now was on a ventilator system.
02:37This after Rahul Gandhi launched a sharp,
02:39an equally sharp attack on the government over the weekend.
02:43The leader of opposition accused the Election Commission
02:45of stealing citizens' voices.
02:49Rahul Gandhi had claimed that 15% of India's electorate
02:53had been deleted since 2024.
02:56He demanded that the Chief Election Commissioner,
02:59Gyanesh Kumar, resign and face prosecution.
03:03Rahul Gandhi called this alleged manipulation
03:06the rarest of rare crime,
03:08accused the BJP of hijacking institutions.
03:11This confrontation has now spilled into a war of words
03:15over crowd numbers at the Ramlila Maidan Rally.
03:18Congress claims the turnout was massive.
03:20They've hailed the event as a historic show of public support.
03:24The BJP claims the Ramlila Maidan Rally was a flop.
03:29Sambit Patra claimed that 5,000 to 7,000 chairs were empty
03:33and 40% of the ground was unoccupied or vacant.
03:37BJP leaders have alleged that the Congress Party
03:40used AI-generated images to exaggerate
03:43the number of people who were there.
03:45So this political battle also has an economic dimension now.
03:48The Chamber of Trade and Industry has estimated
03:5111,000 crore rupees in losses
03:53linked to the rally and disruption around it,
03:56claiming that 2.5 lakh shops remained shut
04:00and business activity fell sharply.
04:03The estimates include losses in retail, wholesale, trade, transport,
04:08logistics, hospitality and even the informal sector
04:11with daily wage earners among those badly affected.
04:15So from votchory to bogus votes,
04:18this political war is now escalating.
04:21The big question,
04:22will this battle be settled by evidence in courts of law
04:25and electoral transparency
04:27or drowned out by political rhetoric
04:30with ordinary citizens and traders paying the price?
04:34We'd debate that.
04:35But first, let's give you all sides of the story
04:38and the war of words.
