Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 89.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 7.4% between them.

    (3,15,704 + 2,37,822) ÷ 6,20,767 = 89.2% · 45,937 ÷ 6,20,767 = 7.4%

  2. Turnout of 57.3% was 3.5 pp below the state's median seat (60.8%).

    57.3 − 60.8 = −3.5

  3. The margin widened from 7.8 pp in 1996 to 12.5 pp.

    12.5 − 7.8 = +4.7 pp

  4. Bheru Lal (MEENA) also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 1998 winner name
