Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 51,119 votes, 7.4× the 6,947-vote margin.

    51,119 ÷ 6,947 = 7.4

  2. The top two polled 63.1% of votes; the other 13 candidates 36.9% between them.

    (65,355 + 58,408) ÷ 1,96,162 = 63.1% · 72,399 ÷ 1,96,162 = 36.9%

  3. Turnout of 60.9% was 1.5 pp above the state's median seat (59.4%).

    60.9 − 59.4 = +1.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.6 pp in 2007 to 3.5 pp.

    3.5 − 7.6 = −4.1 pp

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