# Shah accuses Congress of neglecting Ramapir no Tekro 2026-11-09T11:51:08+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday, 9 November, targeted the Congress during the inauguration of housing projects at Ramapir no Tekro in Ahmedabad, saying residents voted for the party for decades but received no houses. He recalled his association with the settlement since 1985 and said conditions then included open drains, poor water supply and bad roads. Shah said the BJP's first councillor from the area was elected in 1995 and that efforts to provide permanent housing continued after his own election from Sarkhej in 2012. The projects inaugurated include 532 residential units and 16 shops in Sector 5 for Rs 47.14 crore, and 644 houses in Sector 1 for Rs 40.88 crore. He said the completed redevelopment would benefit more than 55,000 people and include social security, recreation, education and healthcare facilities. Shah credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel for the housing approach, and said nearly one lakh people in Ahmedabad had benefited from similar efforts. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both outlets carried identical wire copy, leading with Shah's accusation that Congress neglected Ramapir no Tekro despite decades of votes. The phrasing gives prominence to the BJP's provision of 1,176 units and the credit to Modi and Patel, letting the minister's framing stand without challenge. No counter-statement from Congress appears in either version. The balanced reading is that the story is an official account of a housing inauguration, reported as presented. What remains open is how Congress might respond to the charge of neglect, which the sources do not address. The shared coverage is uniform straight reporting, with both outlets presenting Shah's remarks and the project figures without independent verification. The visit to the houses and the pledge of social security, recreation and healthcare facilities for over 55,000 residents are stated as fact. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - thehansindia.com (neutral report) Leads with Shah's political attack and his Ramapir association, straight coverage of his speech. - yespunjab.com (neutral report) Reports Shah's allegations and project details in balanced wire style.
