Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 5,881 votes, 1.9× the 3,086-vote margin.

    5,881 ÷ 3,086 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 93.8% of votes; the other 2 candidates 6.2% between them.

    (65,590 + 62,504) ÷ 1,36,548 = 93.8% · 8,424 ÷ 1,36,548 = 6.2%

  3. Turnout of 73.3% was 4.0 pp below the state's median seat (77.3%).

    73.3 − 77.3 = −4.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 4.9 pp in 1996 to 2.3 pp.

    2.3 − 4.9 = −2.6 pp

  5. Kamal Mukherjee also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 2001 winner name
