Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 8,621 votes, 2.1× the 4,085-vote margin.
8,621 ÷ 4,085 = 2.1
The top two polled 82.6% of votes; the other 25 candidates 17.3% between them.
(54,633 + 50,548) ÷ 1,27,266 = 82.6% · 22,071 ÷ 1,27,266 = 17.3%
Turnout of 66.8% was 1.7 pp below the state's median seat (68.5%).
66.8 − 68.5 = −1.7
The margin narrowed from 5.5 pp in 1998 to 3.2 pp.
3.2 − 5.5 = −2.3 pp
Dr. Govind Singh also won in 1998.
1998 winner name = 2003 winner name
