Before saying anything else, I would like to state unequivocally that Home Minister Amit Shah is the best speaker in the BJP after Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Amit Shah always speaks after doing extensive research and defends his government in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha of Parliament, but occasionally he makes a small mistake because of the heat of the moment, as he did yesterday, such as using the term “saala” in a response to a no-confidence motion against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on March 11. The opposition called his use of the term “#saala” unparliamentary.
However, I believe that Amit Shah made the same mistake in December 2024 when he stated in the Rajya Sabha that it has become a “fashion” to take Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s name, implying that if the same energy were spent on chanting the name of God, it would lead to heaven for seven lifetimes. Additionally, I stated in my piece and tweets from 2024 that his remarks were the result of the heat of the moment.
Interestingly, and as expected given the NDA-led BJP’s majority, a no-confidence resolution against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla was lost by voice vote on March 11, 2026, amid opposition protests. The motion to dismiss him failed due to insufficient support, allowing him to stay in his role. Article 96 of the Constitution of India states that the Speaker cannot preside while a removal motion is being considered.

National Political Mirror: To get right to the point, I would say that he started his one-hour and fourteen-minute speech in the Lok Sabha yesterday at 5:01 p.m. His opening was excellent because he was discussing topics connected to the problems, but around 48:27 (the time from this video), he veered off course and started talking about something else. I am not sure who wrote his speech.
And if I knew anything, I would advise Amit Shah to have his speechwriter removed from the position right away. However, I have mentioned 48:27 in the video that I have uploaded in this tweet, and I truly don’t know who wrote his speech when he started reading after 48:27.
But I would advise Amit Saha to hire someone who understands the nuances of politics. However, Amit Shah’s finish was really good from 1:11:00 to 1:13:21, according to the video time table.
I am stating that on February 26, my friend and I unexpectedly met Dilip Mandal, the former editor of India Today (Hindi), who was appointed media advisor in the Information and Broadcasting ministry despite his reputation for writing harshly about the Narendra Modi government and occasionally the judiciary. He responded, “We always work for the government, and before 2014 we also worked for the government, and when I was with a media organization, I was asked to not write about selected businessmen and so-and-so people,” when my friend and I asked him, “Why have you suddenly shifted your loyalty to the government, as you used to write SC-ST and OBC and due to your write-up, you became famous?”
When we asked Dilip Mandal more questions that he wasn’t able to answer, his body language indicated that the more questions he had, the more he couldn’t answer. Interestingly, my friend asked him to provide his phone number with him, and Dilip Mandal said, ‘You should help yourself.’
Therefore, if anyone is sceptical about my allegation based on the minutes of my conversation with Dilip Mandal, I ask them to gather CCTV footage from the exterior of the Press Club of India on February 26 from 5:22 to 5:35, since we were speaking next to an ATM that is very close to the Press Club of India. After 15 days, CCTV footage may be deleted.

Now let’s go on to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who asserted on March 11 at an NDA rally in Kochi, Kerala, claiming that Rahul Gandhi is unaware of India’s development and drone manufacturing.
However, as political comments are exclusively made at election rallies and political events, I would like to end my strange assertion that official statements are made in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha of Parliament, including press conferences, rather than at political rallies.
Similar to the official statements made between 2004 and 2014, former Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh regularly briefed Parliamentarians in the Parliament following the conclusion of his major international official tours.
