The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday took a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as the party continued to struggle in the assembly elections across five states – West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Keralam,
Assam and Puducherry.
Taking to X, the BJP wrote, “If elections were a sport, Rahul Gandhi would have an untouchable record. 99 losses and counting isn’t just a statistic, it’s practically a streak. Across states, across years, across narratives, the outcome barely changes. Campaigns are launched with noise, slogans are refreshed, rebranding attempts come and go — but the result? Always the same. Inching closer to the century. Well done, RaGa!”

The BJP’s post, which described elections as a “sport” where Rahul Gandhi would have an “untouchable record,” is the latest in a series of barbs targeting his electoral track record.
The party has repeatedly claimed that Congress has suffered around 95 electoral defeats over the past two decades, a line it has used in previous campaigns as well.
The fresh attack comes as early trends from the 2026 assembly elections across five states pointed towards the BJP’s lead in West Bengal and Assam, as Congress remained trailing behind in all states.
In West Bengal, early counting trends indicated a strong performance by the BJP, which touched the majority mark and continued to sail beyond 180 seats, while the ruling Trinamool Congress trailed, and the Congress remained a marginal player in the contest.
In Assam, trends showed the BJP ahead with a comfortable lead, while the Congress-led alliance lagged significantly.
Meanwhile, in Kerala, the Congress-led United Democratic Front was locked in a close fight with the Left, highlighting one of the few battlegrounds where the party remains competitive.
The BJP had taken a similar dig at Rahul Gandhi after the Bihar elections and attacked the party for making a record of “95 electoral defeats” over the past two decades.
BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya had written 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.”
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. pic.twitter.com/y4rH6g62qG— Amit Malviya (@amitmalviya) November 14, 2025
