Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 90,672 votes, 30× the 3,009-vote margin.

    90,672 ÷ 3,009 = 30.1

  2. The top two polled 81.2% of votes; the other 4 candidates 18.9% between them.

    (2,77,388 + 2,74,379) ÷ 6,79,727 = 81.2% · 1,28,709 ÷ 6,79,727 = 18.9%

  3. Turnout of 67.6% was 11.7 pp above the state's median seat (55.9%).

    67.6 − 55.9 = +11.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 0.6 pp in 1999 to 0.4 pp.

    0.4 − 0.6 = −0.2 pp

  5. BJP held the seat it won in 1999.
