Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 78,929 votes, 1.4× the 57,287-vote margin.

    78,929 ÷ 57,287 = 1.4

  2. The top two polled 81.9% of votes; the other 7 candidates 18.1% between them.

    (3,19,839 + 2,62,552) ÷ 7,11,181 = 81.9% · 1,28,532 ÷ 7,11,181 = 18.1%

  3. Turnout of 58.9% was 7.8 pp below the state's median seat (66.7%).

    58.9 − 66.7 = −7.8

  4. The margin widened from 5.4 pp in 2004 to 8.1 pp.

    8.1 − 5.4 = +2.7 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJP in 2004, BJD in 2009.
