When PM Modi was last re-elected, the strike rate, or winning rate, of the BJP and the Congress had a stark difference.
Agreeing on a name may be off the opposition's 'To-Do' list, but if it wants to defeat Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP in next year's national election after two back-to-back election debacles, it needs to dramatically shore up its strike rate, data from the 2019 polls show.
More than two dozen opposition parties announced the formation of a new alliance on Tuesday, named "INDIA," to challenge the BJP in the 2024 parliamentary elections. But their track record indicates they have considerable ground to cover if they hope to present a significant challenge.
In 2019, when PM Modi was last re-elected, the strike rate, or winning rate, of the BJP and the Congress, the main opposition party, had a stark difference. In the direct contest between the two parties, the BJP boasted a formidable strike rate of 92.1 per cent, whereas the Congress party's strike rate languished at 7.9 per cent.
Out of approximately 190 out of 543 seats where there was a direct contest between Congress and BJP, the ruling party claimed a striking 175, leaving only 15 seats for the Congress. To pose a credible challenge to the BJP in 2024, Congress will need to significantly improve upon this figure.
