In short

JD(U) spokesperson Rajeev Ranjan said Rahul Gandhi’s attacks on the Election Commission would not help him win elections. The summary also said he claimed Congress has been shrinking and has not crossed 100 seats in Parliament.

This matters because it shows more political sparring between JD(U) and Congress. It is not clear from the reporting when the remarks were made or whether Gandhi replied.

What the reporting says

The remarks were framed as part of a broader attack on the Congress, which he said had failed to win more than 100 seats in Parliament and was facing internal discord. The reporting does not establish when the comments were made or any direct response from Gandhi.
