Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JP polled 15,124 votes, 1.3× the 11,429-vote margin.

    15,124 ÷ 11,429 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 68.9% of votes; the other 11 candidates 31.0% between them.

    (47,893 + 36,464) ÷ 1,22,488 = 68.9% · 37,952 ÷ 1,22,488 = 31.0%

  3. Turnout of 77.8% was 9.3 pp above the state's median seat (68.5%).

    77.8 − 68.5 = +9.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 20.1 pp in 1998 to 9.3 pp.

    9.3 − 20.1 = −10.8 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1998, BJP in 2003.
