Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed IND polled 10,813 votes, 5.6× the 1,934-vote margin.

    10,813 ÷ 1,934 = 5.6

  2. The top two polled 73.5% of votes; the other 6 candidates 26.5% between them.

    (19,714 + 17,780) ÷ 51,022 = 73.5% · 13,528 ÷ 51,022 = 26.5%

  3. Turnout of 74.7% was 0.8 pp above the state's median seat (73.9%).

    74.7 − 73.9 = +0.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 17.4 pp in 2009 to 3.8 pp.

    3.8 − 17.4 = −13.6 pp

  5. BJP held the seat it won in 2009.
