Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 34,169 votes, 1.4× the 23,937-vote margin.

    34,169 ÷ 23,937 = 1.4

  2. The top two polled 58.1% of votes; the other 22 candidates 41.9% between them.

    (80,183 + 56,246) ÷ 2,34,636 = 58.1% · 98,207 ÷ 2,34,636 = 41.9%

  3. Turnout of 67.5% was 8.1 pp above the state's median seat (59.4%).

    67.5 − 59.4 = +8.1

  4. The margin widened from 4.6 pp in 2007 to 10.2 pp.

    10.2 − 4.6 = +5.6 pp

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