Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 2,08,296 votes, 1.1× the 1,86,587-vote margin.

    2,08,296 ÷ 1,86,587 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 71.3% of votes; the other 3 candidates 28.7% between them.

    (3,98,568 + 2,11,981) ÷ 8,56,631 = 71.3% · 2,46,082 ÷ 8,56,631 = 28.7%

  3. Turnout of 66.7% matched the state's median seat.

    66.7 − 66.7 = 0.0

  4. The margin widened from 13.2 pp in 2004 to 21.8 pp.

    21.8 − 13.2 = +8.6 pp

  5. BJD held the seat it won in 2004.
