Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 42,836 votes, 2.4× the 17,864-vote margin.

    42,836 ÷ 17,864 = 2.4

  2. The top two polled 76.3% of votes; the other 7 candidates 23.7% between them.

    (82,169 + 64,305) ÷ 1,91,941 = 76.3% · 45,467 ÷ 1,91,941 = 23.7%

  3. Turnout of 68.0% was 7.5 pp above the state's median seat (60.5%).

    68.0 − 60.5 = +7.5

  4. The margin widened from 0.4 pp in 2012 to 9.3 pp.

    9.3 − 0.4 = +8.9 pp

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