Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 1,27,940 votes, 17× the 7,737-vote margin.

    1,27,940 ÷ 7,737 = 16.5

  2. The top two polled 75.7% of votes; the other 10 candidates 24.3% between them.

    (2,53,331 + 2,45,594) ÷ 6,59,099 = 75.7% · 1,60,174 ÷ 6,59,099 = 24.3%

  3. Turnout of 53.4% was 1.1 pp below the state's median seat (54.5%).

    53.4 − 54.5 = −1.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 4.7 pp in 1996 to 1.2 pp.

    1.2 − 4.7 = −3.5 pp

  5. Vinay Katiyar, the 1996 winner, finished second in 1998.

    1996 winner name = 1998 runner-up name
