Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 12,693 votes, 2.6× the 4,934-vote margin.

    12,693 ÷ 4,934 = 2.6

  2. The top two polled 83.2% of votes; the other 2 candidates 16.7% between them.

    (43,749 + 38,815) ÷ 99,231 = 83.2% · 16,615 ÷ 99,231 = 16.7%

  3. Turnout of 68.8% was 8.5 pp below the state's median seat (77.3%).

    68.8 − 77.3 = −8.5

  4. The margin widened from 2.6 pp in 1996 to 5.0 pp.

    5.0 − 2.6 = +2.4 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: RSP in 1996, INC in 2001.
