Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 1,30,895 votes, 342× the 383-vote margin.

    1,30,895 ÷ 383 = 341.8

  2. The top two polled 76.3% of votes; the other 16 candidates 22.5% between them.

    (2,54,951 + 2,54,568) ÷ 6,67,639 = 76.3% · 1,49,895 ÷ 6,67,639 = 22.5%

  3. Turnout of 71.1% was 1.1 pp above the state's median seat (70.0%).

    71.1 − 70.0 = +1.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 0.4 pp in 1996 to 0.1 pp.

    0.1 − 0.4 = −0.3 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1996.
