Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 18,164 votes, 1.6× the 11,453-vote margin.

    18,164 ÷ 11,453 = 1.6

  2. The top two polled 55.3% of votes; the other 12 candidates 44.7% between them.

    (34,028 + 22,575) ÷ 1,02,328 = 55.3% · 45,725 ÷ 1,02,328 = 44.7%

  3. Turnout of 59.1% was 0.9 pp above the state's median seat (58.2%).

    59.1 − 58.2 = +0.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 28.9 pp in 2003 to 11.2 pp.

    11.2 − 28.9 = −17.7 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJP in 2003, IND in 2008.
