Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 16,779 votes, 1.3× the 12,604-vote margin.

    16,779 ÷ 12,604 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 70.1% of votes; the other 21 candidates 29.9% between them.

    (63,076 + 50,472) ÷ 1,61,906 = 70.1% · 48,358 ÷ 1,61,906 = 29.9%

  3. Turnout of 54.2% was 5.2 pp below the state's median seat (59.4%).

    54.2 − 59.4 = −5.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.4 pp in 2007 to 7.8 pp.

    7.8 − 15.4 = −7.6 pp

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