Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 24,974 votes, 1.5× the 16,835-vote margin.

    24,974 ÷ 16,835 = 1.5

  2. The top two polled 69.0% of votes; the other 5 candidates 31.0% between them.

    (66,940 + 50,105) ÷ 1,69,660 = 69.0% · 52,615 ÷ 1,69,660 = 31.0%

  3. Turnout of 59.7% was 0.3 pp above the state's median seat (59.4%).

    59.7 − 59.4 = +0.3

  4. The margin widened from 3.1 pp in 2007 to 9.9 pp.

    9.9 − 3.1 = +6.8 pp

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