Modi Praises Shah's Lok Sabha Speech on SIR, Says It Exposed Opposition Lies
Prime Minister Modi lauds Amit Shah's 90-minute Lok Sabha address on the Special Intensive Revision, calling it 'outstanding' and full of concrete facts that counter Opposition claims.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday praised Home Minister Amit Shah for his 90-minute Lok Sabha address on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, describing it as 'outstanding' and grounded in 'concrete facts' that highlight the diversity of India's electoral process and the strength of its democracy.
Shah's speech directly countered Opposition allegations about the electoral process, arguing that the government has laid out a clear, fact-driven case for reforms and the integrity of elections. Modi, in a post on X, echoed the praise, calling Shah's presentation an example of how facts can illuminate the discussion around electoral reforms and the SIR.
In his address, Shah asserted that the Congress party's defeats in recent polls stemmed from leadership shortcomings rather than EVMs or alleged 'vote chori.' He also argued that the discourse around electoral integrity has to be grounded in verifiable facts and transparent procedures, a stance Modi reinforced in his social media update.
As Parliament's winter session continues, the government is positioning the SIR and related reforms as essential steps toward greater transparency in the electoral process, while the Opposition maintains its campaign against the changes. The collaborative push between Modi and Shah signals the administration's commitment to framing the reforms in terms of democratic strengthening and electoral accountability.
