India Today Exit Poll animation shows Rahul Gandhi wrestling Nadda: Netizens react to Modi’s absence
New Delhi: An animated video by India Today depicted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi wrestling BJP National President JP Nadda as the exit polls projected a clear lead for the Congress in Haryana. The video sparked numerous reactions on social media, with many highlighting that PM Modi is often not presented as the BJP’s face when the party appears to be losing elections.
Several users pointed out how JP Nadda becomes the focus during election setbacks, while PM Modi is prominently featured during the party’s victories. The reactions ranged from sympathy for Nadda to sarcastic commentary.
Congress leader Pawan Khera tweeted, “अगले जन्म में मोहे नड्डा ना कीजे….,” implying that Nadda’s position is unenviable, especially during election losses.
अगले जन्म में मोहे नड्डा ना कीजे….

User Harmeet Kaur expressed frustration over the media’s coverage, stating, “When winning ... It's Modi Modi everywhere. When losing.... replace Modi & plaster Nadda Ji's pic. And then you people get offended, when we call you Godi Media.”

Another user, VIKRAM (@Gobhiji3), added humor to the discussion, saying, “TV पर आ गया नड्डा, मतलब बीजेपी का बैठ गया भट्ठा. हरियाणा में बहुत बुरा हुआ भक्तों के साथ.” He suggested that Nadda’s appearance as BJP’s face is a clear indicator of the party’s decline in Haryana.

BJP has dug a hole in Haryana. That is why Nadda has come to the Exit Poll.

Narendra Modi's crushing defeat is being blamed on Nadda. pic.twitter.com/bfHKq41S95
The video and subsequent online discussion have brought attention to the BJP’s strategy of promoting PM Modi’s image during winning streaks and shifting focus to other party leaders, like JP Nadda, when defeat looks clear.
