Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 15,621 votes, 1.2× the 13,305-vote margin.

    15,621 ÷ 13,305 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 82.8% of votes; the other 6 candidates 17.2% between them.

    (53,416 + 40,111) ÷ 1,12,929 = 82.8% · 19,402 ÷ 1,12,929 = 17.2%

  3. Turnout of 56.7% was 1.5 pp below the state's median seat (58.2%).

    56.7 − 58.2 = −1.5

  4. The margin widened from 4.2 pp in 2003 to 11.8 pp.

    11.8 − 4.2 = +7.6 pp

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