Shah said that the outcome of public programmes and election results clearly explained the party\u2019s declining electoral fortunes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Shah said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had earned repeated mandates through what he described as trust-based, development-oriented and sensitive governance. In contrast, he claimed the Congress remained disconnected from issues that enjoy wide public support, news agency ANI reported.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Citing his own electoral experience, Shah said he had been repeatedly elected from areas such as Vanzar without facing major agitations, obstructions or public protests, which he said reflected people\u2019s trust in the BJP\u2019s governance model.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Listing major policy decisions, Shah said the Congress had opposed several moves that enjoyed popular support, including the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, air strikes against Pakistan, action against alleged Bangladeshi infiltrators, the abrogation of Article 370 and temple construction in Kashi.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">\u201cWhen you oppose everything that the people support, where will the votes come from?&#8221; Shah asked.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Shah accused Rahul Gandhi of focusing on issues such as FIRs instead of addressing people\u2019s real concerns. \u201cInstead of understanding governance and public issues, Rahul Gandhi is busy understanding FIRs, which is not even his responsibility,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Shah said that even Rahul Gandhi\u2019s own party leaders fail to make him understand ground realities, adding that the BJP\u2019s development-oriented politics and sensitive governance model continues to resonate strongly with the public.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">Taking a political swipe, Shah asserted that the Congress would continue to lose elections in states such as West Bengal and Tamil Nadu. He also expressed confidence that the BJP would return to power again in 2029 under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><em>(With inputs from ANI)<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-4197078106 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>December 28, 2025, 17:20 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-4197078106 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/politics\/\">politics<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> \u2018He Doesn&#8217;t Understand Public Sentiments\u2019: Amit Shah Swipes At Rahul Gandhi Over Poll Defeats<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
