Union Home Minister Amit Shah has issued a sharp piece of advice to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, stating that he will never be able to attain political power by defaming India from international platforms. Instead of taking frequent foreign trips, Rahul Gandhi needs to visit the villages across the country, while union Home Minister Amit Shah made these remarks while responding to Rahul Gandhi regarding the Bharat Summit organized by the Congress party in Hyderabad. During an event held in the city of Pune, Union Home Minister Amit Shah asserted that Rahul Gandhi has continuously tried to bring disrepute to the country. If Rahul Gandhi wants to win politically, he should stop going abroad and start visiting the rural heartlands of India. Through this program, Amit Shah also delivered a strong message to the grassroots workers of the Congress party today.
Expanding on his address, Amit Shah further stated that the Congress party is venting its frustration over continuously losing elections three times in different ways. Recently, the Congress party organized the Bharat Summit 2026 in Hyderabad. Prominent propagandists of leftist ideology from across the country were invited to India for this event. The crown prince of the Congress party, Rahul Gandhi, also attended the gathering. Although the summit was named the Bharat Summit, Rahul Gandhi used the international conference to express anti-India views and actively worked to defame India in front of the entire world. The Home Minister emphasized that this was a calculated attempt to tarnish the national image, which the public of India will never forgive or forget.
Addressing the 12-year tenure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the issue of corruption, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, I've come to the people of Maharashtra and citizens across the entire country today to state that wherever you encounter Congress leaders, you must ask them a direct question. Fighting elections, losing, or winning entirely depends on the performance of a party leaders. The people of the country gave you a full opportunity for 10 years, during which 12 lakh crore rupees worth of scams, frauds, and massive corruption took place. The vigilant citizens of the country caught you by the hand and threw your government out of power in Delhi. They made Narendra Modi the Prime Minister, and in the last 12 years, not even a fraction of an allegation of corruption has been leveled against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Highlighting the multi-sectoral growth achieved by India under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, Shah stated that during this historic 12-year tenure, India has recorded unprecedented growth across every single sector. Whether it's the agricultural sector, industrial development, successfully reaching the south pole of the moon, building a strong startup ecosystem, completely reviving the railway network, increasing the number of airports from 76 to 150, deploying the largest metro rail networks, bringing in the revolutionary New Education Policy, or establishing a dedicated Ministry of Cooperation, all of these monumental milestones have been achieved during these 12 years.
Continuing his sharp criticism, Union Home Minister Amit Shah categorically stated that I want to give this clear advice to Rahul Gandhi that by defaming India on international platforms in this manner, you will never attain power. If you genuinely desire political power, stop your foreign tours and start visiting the villages of India so that perhaps your turn might come someday in politics. The entire world is currently praising the strong leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, yet you're busy doing the shameful job of defaming Prime Minister Modi and India journey of development on the global stage, while anyway, you won't listen, but I want to tell the Congress workers that if you follow them in this misguided direction, your turn won't come for the next 30 years.
Speaking on visiting Indian villages and the role of the opposition, Home Minister Shah asked the gathering to consider whether any political party, ruling or opposition, can be allowed to defame India and its Prime Minister at an international summit, while the entire country wants Rahul Gandhi to come down to the ground, leave AC rooms, and go to the villages. However, I know very well that within a few days, you will pack your bags and go abroad again. Your aspirations for power can't be fulfilled through such negative tactics, while rahul Gandhi has attempted to defame India, the saga of India development, Indian democracy, and the Prime Minister of the country on an international platform, and I strongly condemn this and urge the people of India to give a fitting reply in the upcoming elections. Earlier, in response to the challenge for a debate on SIR, Amit Shah had already given a sharp reply, asking Rahul Gandhi to step into Parliament for a debate if he has the courage.
