Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had the best strike rate in the Karnataka assembly election, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) winning 5 of 11 seats where he campaigned for the party’s candidates.

As per a report, Himanta biswa sarma’s strike rate stands at 45 percent while that of up cm Yogi Adityanath and union Home minister Amit Shah are 44 % and 34% respectively.

While Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emerged as the BJP’s biggest vote-catcher over the past decade, three of the party’s remaining 39 star campaigners in Karnataka — Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath and his counterpart in Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma — captured many eyeballs with their aggressive campaigning.

Between 24 April and 7 May, Shah addressed 23 rallies or public meetings across the state, along with nine road shows. Sarma held 11 rallies or public meetings within a span of a week and Adityanath held nine public meetings between 26 April and 6 May.

Between the three, Sarma had the highest strike rate at 45 per cent since of the 11 constituencies where he campaigned for the party, the BJP won five. Amit Shah’s strike rate, meanwhile, was 34 per cent while Yogi’s was 44 per cent.

Sarma addressed 11 public meetings, including in Koramangala, Byatarayanapura, Malleshwaram, Arsikere, Ujire (Belthangady), Madikeri, Gonikoppal (Virajpet), Kapu, Mulki (Moodabidri) and Lalbagh (Mangalore City North).

Of these, the BJP won Belthagandy (margin: 18,216 votes), Malleswaram (margin: 41,302 votes), Kapu (margin: 13,004 votes), Moodabidri (margin: 22,468 votes) and Mangalore City North (margin: 32,922 votes)

Sarma had taken the attack directly to the Congress raking up issues like the tipu sultan row. Sarma also took a dig at the congres over its guarantees to the electorates stating that the party should first take the guarantee of Rahul Gandhi.
