Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 81.5% of votes; the other 5 candidates 11.0% between them.

    (2,31,124 + 1,71,005) ÷ 4,93,374 = 81.5% · 54,495 ÷ 4,93,374 = 11.0%

  2. Turnout of 53.2% was 7.7 pp below the state's median seat (60.9%).

    53.2 − 60.9 = −7.7

  3. The margin widened from 6.7 pp in 1996 to 12.2 pp.

    12.2 − 6.7 = +5.5 pp

  4. BJP held the seat it won in 1996.
