BJP Highlights Rahul Gandhi's Electoral Record Amid 2026 Assembly Election Trends

As early trends from the 2026 Assembly elections showed the BJP leading in West Bengal and Assam, the party criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for overseeing 99 electoral defeats since the mid-2000s. The BJP shared social media posts highlighting this losing streak, framing it as a pattern of repeated rejection of Congress leadership. Meanwhile, Congress trailed in most states except Kerala, where it held a lead. The exchange underscores ongoing political rivalry amid mixed election results.
