Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 1,61,818 votes, 1.2× the 1,29,519-vote margin.

    1,61,818 ÷ 1,29,519 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 69.6% of votes; the other 3 candidates 26.8% between them.

    (2,93,800 + 1,64,281) ÷ 6,58,110 = 69.6% · 1,76,085 ÷ 6,58,110 = 26.8%

  3. Turnout of 67.4% was 6.5 pp above the state's median seat (60.9%).

    67.4 − 60.9 = +6.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 28.3 pp in 1996 to 19.7 pp.

    19.7 − 28.3 = −8.6 pp

  5. BJP held the seat it won in 1996.
