'95 defeats for his party; 9-to-5 blame-game politician': BJP mocks Rahul Gandhi over Bihar poll trends

BJP IT chief Amit Malviya taunts Rahul Gandhi over 95 electoral defeats as Congress faces Bihar rout, with party leaders questioning organizational failures.

"Rahul Gandhi! Another election, another defeat! If there were awards for electoral consistency, he'd sweep them all. - Amit Malviya"

New Delhi, Nov 14

BJP's IT cell Chief Amit Malviya on Friday took a sharp dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as early trends from the Bihar Assembly elections indicated a disastrous performance for the grand old party and its allies.

Reacting to the numbers, Malviya posted on X, "Rahul Gandhi! Another election, another defeat! If there were awards for electoral consistency, he'd sweep them all. At this rate, even setbacks must be wondering how he finds them so reliably."

He further said that Rahul Gandhi has accumulated 95 defeats for his party.

"While many will call him a 9-to-5 blame-game politician, Rahul Gandhi has now accumulated 95 electoral defeats in two decades, five short of a century. Is the attack on India's institutions a diversionary tactic by the silver-spoon scion? Malviya questioned.

He also posted graphics of state elections showing when and where the Congress party lost elections after Rahul Gandhi entered electoral politics.

According to the Election Commission, the Congress -- which contested 60 seats -- was leading in only four constituencies. The broader Mahagathbandhan, comprising the RJD, VIP, and Left parties, was also staring at what appears to be one of its worst electoral outcomes in the state.

Out of Bihar's 243 Assembly seats, the NDA is headed for a landslide victory, with the BJP leading on 89 seats and its ally JD(U) ahead on 79 at around 1 p.m..

The Congress party's poor showing has led to criticism from within the party. Senior party leader and former Governor Nikhil Kumar openly questioned the party's poll preparedness, organisational structure, and candidate selection.

"This reflects the weakness of our organisation," he said, adding that a political party's success relies heavily on its organisational machinery. "If the organisation is weak and cannot function effectively, the overall outcome suffers."

Kumar argued that inadequate groundwork and flawed strategy further damaged the party's prospects. He said that while the candidates fielded were capable, "even better candidates could have been chosen," stressing the need for the organisation to work "strategically and intelligently" with a strong presence in every constituency.

He also highlighted internal coordination lapses and a lack of inclusivity in decision-making. According to him, several deserving candidates were ignored in favour of "incompetent" ones -- a move that, he suggested, severely undermined the party's competitiveness in crucial seats.

While BJP's taunts are harsh, the Congress leadership really needs to address internal issues. Nikhil Kumar's comments about weak organization and poor candidate selection ring true. Time for Congress to rebuild from grassroots.

NDA's landslide victory in Bihar shows people's trust in development politics. Congress should focus on constructive work rather than negative politics. The numbers speak for themselves! 🚀

As someone who follows Indian politics closely, I think personal attacks don't help democracy. Both sides should focus on policy debates rather than character assassination. The country deserves better political discourse.

Congress leading in only 4 out of 60 seats is shocking! The party needs complete overhaul - new leadership, better strategy, and actual ground work. Youth wants performance, not just promises. 💭

The internal criticism from senior Congress leaders is telling. When your own party members question candidate selection and strategy, it's time for serious course correction. Democracy needs strong opposition.
