If India ever creates a national award for “Consistent Performance in Losing,” the Indian National Congress wouldn’t just win, it would sweep every category. For a decade, the party’s electoral graph hasn’t just been going downhill; it’s practically building sedimentary layers at the bottom. And after each defeat, Congress leaders follow the exact same ritual: meltdown, moral lecture, press conference, and finally… blame somebody else. After Today’s Bihar election result, things remain painfully – the same.
Bharat Ratna for Gyanesh Kumar.

He is single handedly destroying Worlds Largest Democracy.
Their latest victim is Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, a man who joined the Election Commission in 2024 but is now magically responsible for Congress’ losses dating back to the Mughal era, if you believe their outrage factory.

But once you add timelines, facts, and just a drop of common sense, the entire Congress conspiracy theory falls apart faster than its Bihar alliance.
The Election Commission Is Not the Problem, Congress’ Allergy to Winning Is
The Congress argument essentially says the entire Election Commission has been turned into a BJP puppet. Reality, however, stubbornly refuses to cooperate. The EC is designed as an independent fourth-branch institution, protected from political pressures by Article 324 – something Justice P.S. Narasimha emphasised in his December 2024 lecture, where he praised the EC’s structure and autonomy.
The opposition parties should stop contesting elections as long as Gyanesh Kumar is CEC and the Election Commission remains compromised.

Meanwhile, India delivered a robust 65.79% turnout in 2024, one of the highest in recent cycles. That is not what a “rigged” or “manipulated” election looks like. That is what an engaged, confident electorate looks like. But Congress has never let facts get in the way of a good meltdown. If losing elections could be blamed on solar flares, they’d hold a press conference about it by evening.
Gyanesh Kumar: Congress’ Favourite Villain Who Arrived After Most Congress Losses
Congress talks about Gyanesh Kumar like he’s been plotting their political extinction since the Nehru era. The truth, unfortunately for their narrative, is wildly inconvenient. Kumar retired from government service in January 2024, was appointed Election Commissioner in March 2024, and became CEC in February 2025.
Some believe Modi won the elections in Bihar.
— Nehr_who? (@Nher_who) November 14, 2025
Some believe it was the track record of Nitish.
But deep down we all know, Gyanesh Kumar is the real winner.
That means he wasn’t around for Congress’ collapses in 2014 and 2019. He wasn’t around in 2020 when the party was trounced in Bihar and humiliated in Madhya Pradesh by-elections, winning fewer than a third of the seats it contested. He wasn’t around in 2021 when Congress was wiped out in West Bengal, outsmarted in Assam, and thrown out of Puducherry by its own MLAs.
NDA : 208

Thank you Gyanesh Kumar ji for leaving at least 28 seats for others 🙏#BiharElection2025 pic.twitter.com/LgFxPYxYk1
He wasn’t there in 2022 when Congress managed the extraordinary feat of winning just two seats in Uttar Pradesh, lost Uttarakhand and Goa, and got smashed in Gujarat with a historic low of twenty-seven seats in a 182-seat assembly. Nor was he present in 2023 when the party lost in Tripura, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, with Karnataka being the lone exception because, for once, they didn’t sabotage their own campaign.
Sadly the INDIA bloc was contesting rigged elections.

Even if people are with you, you cannot win elections.
Bihar will never forgive Gyanesh Kumar for this sedition.#BiharElection2025
By the time Gyanesh Kumar even got a desk in Nirvachan Sadan, Congress had already compiled a losing streak long enough to qualify for its own chapter in history textbooks. Yet somehow he is now the mastermind behind every humiliation from Delhi to Dibrugarh. At this point, Congress might as well blame him for the fall of Constantinople.
Congress Has a Decade of Losses, Long Before Gyanesh Kumar Entered the Picture
From 2020 to 2024, the only thing constant in Indian politics was Congress doing badly everywhere it went. In 2020, the party bled votes in Bihar and became an electoral non-entity in Delhi with a 4.26% vote share. In 2021, it was wiped out across West Bengal, Assam and Puducherry. In 2022, it sank to new lows in Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat. In 2023, it managed a mini-revival in Karnataka but promptly killed the momentum by losing Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh in quick succession.
By 2024, its Lok Sabha improvement to 99 seats came only because, for once, it behaved like a functioning political organisation for a few months. This is not an EC problem. This is not a Gyanesh Kumar problem. This is very obviously a Congress problem.
Blaming Institutions Does Not Make You Look Bold: It Makes You Look Desperate
Congress supporters insist the 2023 selection-panel law is undemocratic. Fine! challenge it in court. That is how grown-ups solve constitutional disputes. But this new habit of accusing the CEC of personally “stealing” mandates is not political activism; it is political therapy.
Worse, it reeks of insecurity. A party that keeps losing elections across geography, demography and season now wants India to believe its defeat is the handiwork of a man who wasn’t remotely connected to elections when half these losses occurred. And voters can smell the desperation from miles away.
Send Gyanesh Kumar to Nepal,
— Kunal Kamra (@kunalkamra88) November 14, 2025
BJP will form a government there…
When Congress actually does the hard work, alliances, messaging, campaigning, it wins. That’s what happened in 2024. When it self-destructs with factional infighting, parachute candidates and incoherent messaging, it loses. That’s what happened everywhere else. The Election Commission is not responsible for the Congress’ inability to go a month without fighting itself.
If Congress Wants to Win Again, Here Is a Radical Thought: Try Acting Like a Political Party
At some point, the Congress must accept that elections in India are not won by filing emotional petitions against institutions. They are won by building state units that don’t collapse every six months, empowering grassroots workers instead of dynasty loyalists, offering an economic vision people can actually understand, and showing up in Parliament and public debate with something more substantial than righteous indignation.
Blaming Gyanesh Kumar won’t fix a single booth, revive a single state unit, or win a single seat. It will only reinforce the public perception of a party that finds scapegoats faster than it finds voters. And until the Congress confronts that reality, it will continue its one consistent electoral achievement for the last decade:
Losing everywhere it goes.
