Amit Shah Slams Congress Over Delhi Poll Debacle, Calls It a ‘Family-Centric Party’

Union Home Minister Amit Shah took a sharp dig at the Congress party following its poor performance in the Delhi Assembly elections 2025. In a strongly worded tweet, Shah highlighted the party’s declining influence, attributing it to its focus on "family devotion" rather than public service. 

एक पार्टी जब परिवार वंदन में लग जाए, तब उसकी क्या दुर्दशा होती है, इसका सबसे बड़ा उदाहरण कांग्रेस है।

जिस दिल्ली में आज से एक दशक पहले कांग्रेस की 15 साल सरकार रही, वहाँ 2014 से हुए 6 चुनावों में कांग्रेस का खाता भी नहीं खुला है।

इस विधानसभा चुनाव में 70 में से 67 सीटों पर…

Congress’ Decline in Delhi Elections

Amit Shah pointed out that despite Congress ruling Delhi for 15 consecutive years, it has failed to secure even a single seat in six elections since 2014. The latest 2025 Assembly elections have further cemented the party’s downfall, with Congress losing deposits on 67 out of 70 seats. He remarked that the only stability the party has found under Rahul Gandhi’s leadership is in "zero", indicating its electoral struggles across the country.

The Home Minister’s remarks come amid discussions on Congress' shrinking voter base and its inability to reclaim lost ground in Delhi. Political analysts suggest that the rise of AAP and the dominance of BJP have sidelined Congress, leaving it without a significant presence in the national capital.

Congress' Struggles Continue

Shah’s statement reflects the larger challenges faced by the Congress party in Indian politics. Despite attempts to revive its fortunes through alliances and campaign strategies, the party has failed to regain its stronghold in Delhi.

As BJP celebrates its sweeping victory, the Congress party now faces urgent introspection over its leadership and future strategy. With its electoral graph dipping, the party's ability to reinvent itself remains a critical question in the evolving political landscape of India.
