Margins tell story of BJP dominance
In four of the states where BJP managed a clean sweep — Gujarat, Delhi, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh — such was its dominance that even the lowest margin was in lakhs. In the case of Gujarat it was close to 1.3 lakh, in Delhi and Uttarakhand 2.3 lakh and in Himachal 3.3 lakh.
The highest average margin for any party was, however, the DMK’s at almost 2.8 lakh, again illustrating the extent of the Dravidian party’s edge over its opposition in Tamil Nadu.
Not surprisingly, the next three parties on the list are all constituents of NDA — BJP, LJP and JD(U).
Among the states, the top five slots in terms of average margins were all occupied by states that BJP made a clean sweep of — Himachal, Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan and Gujarat, in that order.
It’s no surprise, therefore, that the five biggest margins in these elections all were for BJP winners from these states. Four of them recorded margins of over 6 lakh and the fifth just narrowly missed that mark (see graphic). The biggest margin was in Navsari where C R Patil won by 6,89,668 votes.
At the other end of the spectrum, the list of the five smallest margins was a mixed bag, with two BJP winners and one each from the Congress, NCP and Trinamool. The narrowest margin of 181 was in Machhlishahr in UP, where Bholanath of the BJP beat his BSP rival Tribhuvan Ram.
