Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 1,13,581 votes, 2.3× the 48,805-vote margin.

    1,13,581 ÷ 48,805 = 2.3

  2. The top two polled 78.0% of votes; the other 15 candidates 22.0% between them.

    (3,19,168 + 2,70,363) ÷ 7,55,929 = 78.0% · 1,66,398 ÷ 7,55,929 = 22.0%

  3. Turnout of 59.9% was 5.4 pp above the state's median seat (54.5%).

    59.9 − 54.5 = +5.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 26.3 pp in 1996 to 6.5 pp.

    6.5 − 26.3 = −19.8 pp

  5. Amar Pal Singh also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 1998 winner name
