Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 40,499 votes, 1.6× the 25,336-vote margin.

    40,499 ÷ 25,336 = 1.6

  2. The top two polled 73.9% of votes; the other 11 candidates 26.1% between them.

    (85,518 + 60,182) ÷ 1,97,033 = 73.9% · 51,333 ÷ 1,97,033 = 26.1%

  3. Turnout of 47.0% was 13.5 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).

    47.0 − 60.5 = −13.5

  4. The margin widened from 5.0 pp in 2012 to 12.9 pp.

    12.9 − 5.0 = +7.9 pp

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