Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 50,888 votes, 3.2× the 15,798-vote margin.

    50,888 ÷ 15,798 = 3.2

  2. The top two polled 75.3% of votes; the other 44 candidates 24.7% between them.

    (1,98,109 + 1,82,311) ÷ 5,05,237 = 75.3% · 1,24,817 ÷ 5,05,237 = 24.7%

  3. Turnout of 42.5% was 10.6 pp below the state's median seat (53.1%).

    42.5 − 53.1 = −10.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.8 pp in 1991 to 3.1 pp.

    3.1 − 9.8 = −6.7 pp

  5. BJP held the seat it won in 1991.
