Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 11,795 votes, 1.9× the 6,252-vote margin.

    11,795 ÷ 6,252 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 79.4% of votes; the other 7 candidates 17.1% between them.

    (38,105 + 31,853) ÷ 88,157 = 79.4% · 15,105 ÷ 88,157 = 17.1%

  3. Turnout of 71.0% was 3.4 pp below the state's median seat (74.4%).

    71.0 − 74.4 = −3.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 24.7 pp in 1990 to 7.1 pp.

    7.1 − 24.7 = −17.6 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: JD in 1990, INC in 1995.

    1990 JD · 1995 INC
