Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 45,301 votes, 1.3× the 36,155-vote margin.

    45,301 ÷ 36,155 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 61.5% of votes; the other 14 candidates 38.5% between them.

    (84,581 + 48,426) ÷ 2,16,281 = 61.5% · 83,274 ÷ 2,16,281 = 38.5%

  3. Turnout of 61.3% was 1.9 pp above the state's median seat (59.4%).

    61.3 − 59.4 = +1.9

  4. The margin widened from 1.7 pp in 2007 to 16.7 pp.

    16.7 − 1.7 = +15.0 pp

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