Congress Criticized for Election Narrative and Refusal to Provide Evidence
Imagine a team played a game and lost badly, winning only a few points out of many.
Instead of thinking about how they could play better, this team kept saying the other team cheated and stole their points, even though they never showed any proof to the game's referees.
Even when the referees removed some players who shouldn't have been on the list, this team didn't complain.
Another team that also lost didn't make excuses.
The author thinks this losing team is making excuses and not looking at their own mistakes.
They are also not thinking about their leaders or how they talk to their teammates.
It’s like they only blame others when things go wrong.
The Congress party won only 6 out of 61 seats contested in Bihar and is sticking to its 'vote chori' (vote theft) narrative.
Rahul Gandhi has refused to provide the Election Commission with evidence or a formal complaint regarding alleged vote theft.
47 lakh voters were removed from Bihar's electoral roll for being dead, migrated, or fake, with no appeals filed by the Congress.
The author criticizes the Congress for making excuses and failing to introspect on their electoral losses and leadership issues.
The article contrasts the Congress's stance with the RJD's restrained approach and suggests that voters in Bihar prioritized development and law and order.

The Congress party, despite winning only six out of 61 contested seats in Bihar, has remained 'remorseless' and is doubling down on its 'vote chori' (vote theft) narrative.
Author's Critique and Allegations
The author argues that the Congress's 'vote chori' narrative is an excuse for electoral disaster and that voters have rejected it. The author also criticizes the Congress for blaming others instead of introspecting, comparing them to a 'mom-and-pop store' where only employees are sacked when sales fall.

The Election Commission stated that 'zero appeals' across Bihar’s districts validate the fairness of the process.
