Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 13,646 votes, 1.5× the 9,054-vote margin.

    13,646 ÷ 9,054 = 1.5

  2. The top two polled 80.5% of votes; the other 8 candidates 19.5% between them.

    (72,869 + 63,815) ÷ 1,69,862 = 80.5% · 33,178 ÷ 1,69,862 = 19.5%

  3. Turnout of 58.7% was 0.7 pp below the state's median seat (59.4%).

    58.7 − 59.4 = −0.7

  4. The margin widened from 1.9 pp in 2007 to 5.3 pp.

    5.3 − 1.9 = +3.4 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BSP in 2007, SP in 2012.
