Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 53,890 votes, 2.6× the 20,960-vote margin.

    53,890 ÷ 20,960 = 2.6

  2. The top two polled 90.8% of votes; the other 7 candidates 9.0% between them.

    (3,87,352 + 3,66,392) ÷ 8,30,044 = 90.8% · 74,832 ÷ 8,30,044 = 9.0%

  3. Turnout of 75.4% was 1.4 pp above the state's median seat (74.0%).

    75.4 − 74.0 = +1.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 6.7 pp in 2004 to 2.5 pp.

    2.5 − 6.7 = −4.2 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: CPI in 2004, CPI(M) in 2009.
