Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 41,338 votes, 2.4× the 16,985-vote margin.

    41,338 ÷ 16,985 = 2.4

  2. The top two polled 53.6% of votes; the other 27 candidates 46.4% between them.

    (58,849 + 41,864) ÷ 1,87,979 = 53.6% · 87,266 ÷ 1,87,979 = 46.4%

  3. Turnout of 55.2% was 4.2 pp below the state's median seat (59.4%).

    55.2 − 59.4 = −4.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 14.9 pp in 2007 to 9.0 pp.

    9.0 − 14.9 = −5.9 pp

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