New Delhi, Oct. 22: Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a sharp attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday, predicting that the party would remain out of power for the next 30 years.

Shah said the BJP-led NDA would continue to enjoy public support. Referring to Gandhi’s criticism of the Election Commission of India (ECI), he argued that opposition parties accepted the electoral process when they won elections but questioned it after defeats.
