Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 54,479 votes, 6.1× the 8,949-vote margin.

    54,479 ÷ 8,949 = 6.1

  2. The top two polled 91.3% of votes; the other 4 candidates 7.7% between them.

    (3,47,945 + 3,38,996) ÷ 7,52,317 = 91.3% · 58,040 ÷ 7,52,317 = 7.7%

  3. Turnout of 72.7% was 2.1 pp above the state's median seat (70.6%).

    72.7 − 70.6 = +2.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 3.3 pp in 1996 to 1.2 pp.

    1.2 − 3.3 = −2.1 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1996.
