Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 4,106 votes, 1.1× the 3,875-vote margin.

    4,106 ÷ 3,875 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 94.5% of votes; the other 6 candidates 5.5% between them.

    (59,315 + 55,440) ÷ 1,21,374 = 94.5% · 6,619 ÷ 1,21,374 = 5.5%

  3. Turnout of 73.7% was 17.8 pp above the state's median seat (55.9%).

    73.7 − 55.9 = +17.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 3.6 pp in 1995 to 3.2 pp.

    3.2 − 3.6 = −0.4 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1995, JD in 1996.
