Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 1,54,095 votes, 3.7× the 41,534-vote margin.

    1,54,095 ÷ 41,534 = 3.7

  2. The top two polled 63.1% of votes; the other 10 candidates 36.9% between them.

    (2,37,895 + 1,96,361) ÷ 6,88,734 = 63.1% · 2,54,478 ÷ 6,88,734 = 36.9%

  3. Turnout of 55.0% was 0.5 pp above the state's median seat (54.5%).

    55.0 − 54.5 = +0.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.4 pp in 1996 to 6.0 pp.

    6.0 − 7.4 = −1.4 pp

  5. BJP held the seat it won in 1996.
