Union home minister Amit Shah on Friday accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of engaging in politics over the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.

Addressing a poll rally in Bihars Sitamarhi, the home minister alleged that Gandhi and other Opposition leaders are opposing SIR because “inltrators are their vote bank”

“Before the Bihar assembly elections, should the names of inltrators be removed from the voter list or not? The Constitution of India does not give the right to vote to those who are not born in India,” Shah said.

Rahul Gandhi is roaming around carrying the Constitution; he should also open it and read it... They are opposing SIR because infiltrators are their vote bank... he added.

In his speech, the union home minister also urged Rahul Gandhi to stop his “vote bank politics”.

“Rahul Gandhi must stop his vote bank politics. The Special Intensive Revision is not a new process, your late great-grandfather Jawaharlal Nehru started it, and it was last conducted in 2003, Shah said. “Now that you are losing elections one after another, you are already trying to justify your loss in the Bihar election in advance.”
