  "account": "Union Home Minister Amit Shah harshly criticized opposition leader Rahul Gandhi and the INDIA bloc, asserting that the BJP continues to win elections despite their alleged lies, confusion, and propaganda. Shah highlighted the NDA's successes in recent bypolls in West Bengal, Assam, and Puducherry, as well as local body elections in Rajasthan and Tripura, as evidence of the people's rejection of the INDIA bloc. He credited these victories to the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.\n\nShah noted that parties that lose public support often question institutions after defeats, but the people have recognized these shortcomings. He emphasized that voters have once again demonstrated unwavering faith in the BJP by giving it a resounding mandate. Shah congratulated the newly elected BJP leaders, including Devasish Sharma in Assam's Nagaon Lok Sabha bypoll, Hasi Rani Rath in West Bengal's Nandigram Assembly bypoll, Shankharavh Sarkar in Puducherry's Thattanchavady Assembly bypoll, Nitin Nabin as BJP President, and praised the victories in Tamil Nadu's Madurantakam and Dharapuram Assembly bypolls won by the ruling TVK party.",
