Bihar Election: Giriraj Singh compared today’s seat-sharing strategy to the NDA’s historic 2010 win, calling it the “real strike rate.” In 2010, the NDA won 206 out of 243 seats — BJP secured 91 seats with an 89% strike rate, and JDU won 115 with 81%. He noted that such success has never been repeated.
For the 2025 Bihar polls, NDA partners faced tough talks. Chirag Paswan’s LJP-RV, which contested 135 seats in 2020 but won only one, had to give up 29 seats. The BJP and JDU also reduced their seat shares — BJP from 112 to 101 and JDU from 115 to 101. Giriraj Singh’s post reignited discussions on alliance unity and performance comparisons.
This new arrangement echoes the intense seat negotiations of the past, highlighting the balance between ambition and unity in Bihar’s politics.
