Hyderabad : The Opposition bloc recently organised the mock Parliament, wherein it held a symbolic “public impeachment” of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, accusing him of wrongdoing in the electoral process and alleging that voters’ names had been deleted to influence elections.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday, November 2, led the BJP’s ‘Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy’ padayatra in Telangana’s Hyderabad and took a jibe at the INDIA bloc and Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, for carrying out a mock Parliament.
The Opposition bloc recently organised the mock Parliament, wherein it held a symbolic “public impeachment” of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, accusing him of wrongdoing in the electoral process and alleging that voters’ names had been deleted to influence elections.
Countering the Opposition’s narrative against the Narendra Modi-led NDA government, Amit Shah said, “Rahul ji, listen to me. Two days ago, you held a mock Parliament. If you had asked me, I would have suggested that in this mock Parliament, you become Prime Minister once without having to become the Leader of the Opposition. Why? Because you will never be able to become Prime Minister in the real Parliament. You can become one in a mock Parliament, and that may bring peace to Sonia ji’s heart.”
Hyderabad, Telangana: Union Home Minister Amit Shah says, “And Rahul ji, listen to me. Two days ago, you held a mock Parliament. If you had asked me, I would have suggested that in this mock Parliament, you become Prime Minister once without having to become the Leader of the Opposition. Why? Because you will never be able to become Prime Minister in the real Parliament. You can become one in a mock Parliament, and that may bring peace to Sonia ji’s heart… Whether it is the issues of EVMs, SIR, or infiltrators, I challenge you today from the land of Hyderabad: We are ready to convene a special session of Parliament. Come and participate in a discussion”

He went on to criticise Rahul Gandhi over his foreign visits. “Rahul ji, you cannot win elections this way. You spend three or four months in the country and then go abroad. You will have to sweat it out in the country. You will have to stand united with the people and work to resolve their problems,” the Union Home Minister said.
Accompanied by Union Coal Minister G Kishan Reddy, Union MoS (Home) Bandi Sanjay Kumar, and other Telangana BJP leaders, Amit Shah was seen carrying the National Flag during the foot march, which began from the Babu Jagjivan Ram statue and concluded at Mozamjahi Market.
Amit Shah said that the Opposition’s ‘Chalo Dilli’ rally at the Ramlila Maidan in the national capital on Sunday, November 1, was not a ‘vote bachao’ (save votes) rally, but rather a ‘Save the Infiltrators’ rally.
“By opposing the SIR, Congress wants to protect Bangladeshi infiltrators in the country’s electoral rolls. But I have come here today to say that Rahul ji and Revanth Reddy ji can put in as much effort as they want. The BJP will ensure that every single infiltrator is removed from the voter list and driven out of the country. The entire Congress and its allies are working to stop the SIR because these infiltrators are their vote bank. But we, the workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party, stand firmly with the SIR,” Amit Shah said.
The senior BJP leader further reiterated that only those who are citizens of this country will be allowed to vote.
“Rahul ji, put in as much effort as you want; we will ensure that every single infiltrator is removed from the electoral rolls. He says that we won only because of the SIR. I want to ask Rahul ji: In 2014, Modi ji won. There was no SIR then, was there? So, did Modi ji win because of the SIR? He won because of the votes of the people. Modi ji won in 2019 as well. There was no SIR then. Did Modi ji win or not? He won because of the voters of India. After 2024, we won in Maharashtra with the biggest majority. We won in Haryana with the biggest majority. After 30 years, we won in Delhi. We won in Bihar with the biggest majority. In Bengal too, Didi’s entire political standing has been wiped out,” Amit Shah said.

Amit Shah later gave a challenge to Rahul Gandhi, stating that the central government was ready to hold a special session of the Parliament to discuss issues being raised by the Opposition leaders.
“The Constitution’s responsibilities are discharged through the country’s Parliament, but Rahul ji, you do not allow Parliament to function. I challenge you today from the land of Hyderabad. We are ready to convene a special session of Parliament. Come and participate in a discussion. But he will not participate in the discussion because he knows that only through anarchy and disorder can the Congress party keep itself in the news. If Parliament functions, our Modi ji will completely demolish their arguments,” he said.
He added, “Rahul ji, if EVMs are faulty, how did your Revanth Reddy become Chief Minister? How did your government come to power in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Himachal Pradesh? If EVMs are so bad, you should not have taken the oath of office. When you win, the credit goes to the people, but when you lose, you blame the EVMs. You ruled the country for 10 years and were involved in scams, scandals and corruption worth Rs 12 lakh crore.”
