vote %, against every contest this seat has held

Bharatiya Janta Party vote share · a ringed point is a year they won this seat · a dashed upright is a contest with no point for this party, where the line breaks rather than touching zero.

Did not contest: 1977, 1980, 1984, 1989, 1998, 1999, 2004 — the seat went to the polls in those years and this party fielded no candidate. The line is broken there. It is not zero.
