As the counting of Bihar Assembly elections is progressing, the political atmosphere is becoming more exciting. Meanwhile, an interesting comparison is being discussed widely on social media, Team India’s ace batsman Abhishek Sharma and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) President Chirag Paswan. It can be said that both are players from different worlds, but in terms of strike rate, both have shown wonders on their respective grounds.
Chirag Paswan’s election strike rate
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Chirag Paswan’s party had fielded candidates on 6 seats and won all of them. This was a 100% strike rate, which is a very rare achievement for any party. With this confidence, Chirag contested the Bihar Assembly elections this time. His party LJP(R) staked on 29 seats and is leading on 21 seats in the initial trends.
If these results hold, LJP(R)’s strike rate will be around 75%. Which is a commendable figure in today’s politics.
Which candidates are ahead?
Nathnagar: Mithun Kumar – lead of more than 14,811 votes
Balrampur: Sangeeta Devi – lead of more than 20,365 votes
Sugauli: Rajesh Kumar alias Bablu Gupta – lead of more than 22, 831 votes
After the nomination of Bhojpuri actress Seema Singh was rejected on Marhaura seat, the party supported independent Ankit Kumar, which is making the contest interesting.
big shock last time
In the 2020 assembly elections, Chirag’s party separated from the NDA and contested alone on 135 seats, but the results were very disappointing. Despite getting more than 23 lakh votes, LJP could win only one seat. This experience made Chirag more cautious and restrained in his 2024-25 election strategies.
NDA vs Grand Alliance – Who is contesting on how many seats?
This time a total of 5 parties are included in NDA:
BJP – 101 seats
JDU – 101 seats
LJP(R) – 29 seats
RLM – 6 Seats
HAM – 6 seats
Whereas in the Grand Alliance:
RJD – ​​143 seats
Congress – 61 seats
CPI(ML) – 20 Seats
VIP – 13 seats
CPI(M) – 4 seats
CPI – 9 seats
Why comparison with Abhishek Sharma?
In cricket, Abhishek Sharma is known for his aggressive batting and explosive strike rate. Similarly, on the political pitch, Chirag Paswan is seen far ahead of his rivals in terms of strike rate of votes.
