Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 65,040 votes, 6.4× the 10,235-vote margin.

    65,040 ÷ 10,235 = 6.4

  2. The top two polled 68.0% of votes; the other 8 candidates 32.0% between them.

    (81,907 + 71,672) ÷ 2,25,974 = 68.0% · 72,395 ÷ 2,25,974 = 32.0%

  3. Turnout of 71.2% was 10.7 pp above the state's median seat (60.5%).

    71.2 − 60.5 = +10.7

  4. The margin widened from 3.8 pp in 2012 to 4.5 pp.

    4.5 − 3.8 = +0.7 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: SP in 2012, BJP in 2017.
