Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 29,137 votes, 10× the 2,801-vote margin.

    29,137 ÷ 2,801 = 10.4

  2. The top two polled 50.6% of votes; the other 13 candidates 49.4% between them.

    (41,944 + 39,143) ÷ 1,60,220 = 50.6% · 79,133 ÷ 1,60,220 = 49.4%

  3. Turnout of 60.1% was 0.7 pp above the state's median seat (59.4%).

    60.1 − 59.4 = +0.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 2.8 pp in 2007 to 1.7 pp.

    1.7 − 2.8 = −1.1 pp

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