Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 19,778 votes, 3.6× the 5,479-vote margin.

    19,778 ÷ 5,479 = 3.6

  2. The top two polled 47.6% of votes; the other 19 candidates 52.4% between them.

    (31,642 + 26,163) ÷ 1,21,520 = 47.6% · 63,715 ÷ 1,21,520 = 52.4%

  3. Turnout of 31.6% was 14.9 pp below the state's median seat (46.5%).

    31.6 − 46.5 = −14.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.5 pp in 2002 to 4.5 pp.

    4.5 − 9.5 = −5.0 pp

  5. BJP held the seat it won in 2002.
