Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 2,945 votes, 1.6× the 1,843-vote margin.

    2,945 ÷ 1,843 = 1.6

  2. The top two polled 83.0% of votes; the other 15 candidates 15.9% between them.

    (24,150 + 22,307) ÷ 56,000 = 83.0% · 8,905 ÷ 56,000 = 15.9%

  3. Turnout of 45.6% was 4.4 pp below the state's median seat (50.0%).

    45.6 − 50.0 = −4.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 18.8 pp in 1993 to 3.3 pp.

    3.3 − 18.8 = −15.5 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJP in 1993, INC in 1998.
