Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 1,14,360 votes, 4.4× the 25,925-vote margin.

    1,14,360 ÷ 25,925 = 4.4

  2. The top two polled 84.4% of votes; the other 1 candidate 15.6% between them.

    (3,21,840 + 2,95,915) ÷ 7,32,115 = 84.4% · 1,14,360 ÷ 7,32,115 = 15.6%

  3. Turnout of 71.4% was 6.7 pp above the state's median seat (64.7%).

    71.4 − 64.7 = +6.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.4 pp in 1996 to 3.5 pp.

    3.5 − 7.4 = −3.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: TDP in 1996, INC in 1998.
