Rahul Gandhi gets ridiculed on Twitter after Congress loses in Assembly elections

Today’s Assembly election results for the states of Assam, Kerala, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu proved to be another blow for Congress.

In Assam, the party squandered against the BJP while in Kerala they lost to the Left Democratic Front. Now, Mamata Banerjee aka Didi and J Jayalalithaa aka Amma will retain their positions as chief ministers of West Bengal and Tamil Nadu respectively.

Post the results, Rahul Gandhi, Vice President of the Congress party, took to micro-blogging site Twitter admitting his defeat and made a promise to work harder. But Gandhi, who is a ‘favorite’ among Twitterati, ended up getting ridiculed on the platform despite all his sincerity.

Twitter stormed into action, making jokes on the current state of the once-prominent Indian National Congress and Rahul Gandhi.

We have picked the best of the lot right here:

Truth be told. The Congress’ performance has nothing to do with RAHUL Gandhi. It is the El Niño effect combined with Mount Etna’s eruption.
