The difference between BJP and Shiv Sena UBT in terms of actual seats won as individual parties (excluding alliance partners) may be just 24 seats, but when it comes to strike rate, BJP is clearly far ahead of all parties, including its ally Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena.

In the recently concluded BMC elections, the BJP’s strike rate was twice that of its ally Eknath Shinde and nearly 62 per cent higher than Shiv Sena UBT. The numbers highlight BJP’s dominance in converting contested seats into wins, underlining its efficiency compared to both allies and rivals.
