Union Home Minister Amit Shah has accused opposition leaders of using “vote chori” claims to protect what he described as infiltrators. He also predicted that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) would lose the next Punjab Assembly elections.

Amit Shah Attacks Opposition Over ‘Vote Chori’ Claims


Amit Shah’s “vote chori” remarks have intensified the debate over voter list revisions. Speaking at an event in Delhi on Thursday, Shah criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leaders. He questioned their claims about election irregularities and their concerns over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists. Shah said political parties should accept election results instead of questioning the system when they lose.


Opposition Raises Concerns Over Voter List Revision


The opposition has raised concerns about changes to voter lists and the Election Commission's role. The BJP, however, has defended the revision process. It says the process is needed to keep voter lists accurate.

Shah also criticised the AAP government in Punjab over its handling of the drug problem. He said the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) would form the next government in the state. This was his prediction, not a confirmed election result.


The remarks show how election issues and state governance are becoming key points of debate ahead of the next polls. The claims made by both sides, along with the issues raised during the campaign, will remain important parts of the political discussion.
