Thin on the left so far

Only 1 of the 9 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.

This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated 33 Delhi Jal Board (DJB) projects worth Rs 8,941 crore in Delhi. During the event, Shah criticised opposition parties, including the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), for their allegations of 'vote chori' and irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. He stated that protests and demonstrations would not help political parties win elections and urged them to focus on public welfare.

Shah predicted that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would remain in power for 30 years, attributing this to the opposition's "negative politics." He also addressed environmental concerns, blaming previous Congress and AAP governments for pollution in the Yamuna River. Shah stated that the central government, along with the governments of Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, are working on a plan to clean the river, promising a clean Yamuna by May 2029.

Disagreement on Rahul Gandhi's location

While Union Home Minister Amit Shah criticised Rahul Gandhi's allegations of 'vote chori', the reports differ on whether Shah directly addressed Gandhi's presence. Hindustan Times and One India report Shah stating that he was born, stays, and will die in India and does not need to visit foreign countries every six months, in the context of predicting 30 years of BJP rule. In contrast, Moneycontrol and ABP News report Shah saying, "You're sitting abroad" and "You're sitting somewhere abroad" respectively, in reference to Gandhi.
