Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 1,06,430 votes, 1.1× the 94,170-vote margin.

    1,06,430 ÷ 94,170 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 71.9% of votes; the other 11 candidates 28.0% between them.

    (2,06,684 + 1,12,514) ÷ 4,44,043 = 71.9% · 1,24,288 ÷ 4,44,043 = 28.0%

  3. Turnout of 63.1% was 13.6 pp below the state's median seat (76.7%).

    63.1 − 76.7 = −13.6

  4. The margin widened from 15.7 pp in 1998 to 21.2 pp.

    21.2 − 15.7 = +5.5 pp

  5. Sudip Bandyopadhyay also won in 1998.
