Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 22,515 votes, 1.1× the 20,601-vote margin.

    22,515 ÷ 20,601 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 46.4% of votes; the other 29 candidates 53.6% between them.

    (49,687 + 29,086) ÷ 1,69,696 = 46.4% · 90,923 ÷ 1,69,696 = 53.6%

  3. Turnout of 53.6% was 5.8 pp below the state's median seat (59.4%).

    53.6 − 59.4 = −5.8

  4. The margin widened from 3.5 pp in 2007 to 12.1 pp.

    12.1 − 3.5 = +8.6 pp

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