Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 19,845 votes, 4.4× the 4,504-vote margin.

    19,845 ÷ 4,504 = 4.4

  2. The top two polled 83.8% of votes; the other 4 candidates 15.0% between them.

    (71,447 + 66,943) ÷ 1,65,168 = 83.8% · 24,758 ÷ 1,65,168 = 15.0%

  3. Turnout of 84.2% was 0.5 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    84.2 − 83.7 = +0.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 5.2 pp in 2011 to 2.7 pp.

    2.7 − 5.2 = −2.5 pp

  5. Biplab Mitra, the 2011 winner, finished second in 2016.

    2011 winner name = 2016 runner-up name
