Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 22,154 votes, 3.0× the 7,339-vote margin.

    22,154 ÷ 7,339 = 3.0

  2. The top two polled 70.5% of votes; the other 9 candidates 29.4% between them.

    (37,552 + 30,213) ÷ 96,058 = 70.5% · 28,273 ÷ 96,058 = 29.4%

  3. Turnout of 70.2% was 2.8 pp above the state's median seat (67.4%).

    70.2 − 67.4 = +2.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.5 pp in 1997 to 7.6 pp.

    7.6 − 15.5 = −7.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJP in 1997, INC in 2002.
