BJP's dominance was also in the UPA government
BJP's dominance was also in the UPA government…
Almost everyone knows how effective bjp has been as a political party for the past decade. But do you know that even during the congress and UPA regimes, the percentage of BJP's victory was more. When the election data from 1996 to 2014 was combined, it was found that then the strike rate of bjp was higher than that of Congress.
bjp as a political party started growing with its success from the year 1992 itself. Over time, under the leadership of PM Modi, he has established his supremacy over power for the last ten years. According to this data, except for the 2009 lok sabha elections, bjp candidates had a higher strike rate of victory in all other general elections.
BJP's performance better than Congress
An analysis of electoral data shows that the bjp had a better strike rate than the grand old party congress in elections held from 1992 to 2009, including the two terms of the Congress-led UPA. The performance of bjp candidates was much better as compared to the candidates fielded by Congress. However, in the last decade, bjp has become a distinct identity as a major party in electoral politics.
bjp has become solid since Vajpayee's time - Yeddyurappa
Speaking on the same, former karnataka cm and stalwart bjp leader BS Yeddyurappa told TI that "Modi was working in that capacity for the party when he was the cm of Gujarat. But since Vajpayee's time we worked with many veteran leaders across the country and it was taking a more concrete shape with time. Modi was projected as the PM candidate and it translated into votes."
