While expressing disbelief over Congress's remark on PM Modi, Amit Shah asserted, "There is no link between PM Modi's tour programme and the announcement of elections; the PM is always among the people"

Slamming the opposition, HM Amit Shah further said, "The opposition are worried because they can no longer run away with ballot boxes and win elections by corrupt practices"

Criticising Congress's 'vote chori' Amit Shah said, "Post-Independence, Sardar Patel was backed by 28 persons, and J. L. Nehru by two persons; yet Nehru became PM. This was vote chori"

With Shah attacking the Congress and the Opposition while participating in a debate on election reforms, Gandhi hit back and challenged Shah to counter his arguments. The LoP in Lok Sabha said, "I had asked a question yesterday. For the first time in India's history, a decision was taken that election commissioners will be given full immunity"

Shah shot back at Rahul Gandhi, saying that he will not frame his speech according to the wishes of the Leader of the Opposition and also not change the sequence of his argument on someone else's demand
