Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 66,307 votes, 4.3× the 15,259-vote margin.

    66,307 ÷ 15,259 = 4.3

  2. The top two polled 68.1% of votes; the other 4 candidates 31.9% between them.

    (84,078 + 68,819) ÷ 2,24,585 = 68.1% · 71,688 ÷ 2,24,585 = 31.9%

  3. Turnout of 57.8% was 2.7 pp below the state's median seat (60.5%).

    57.8 − 60.5 = −2.7

  4. The margin widened from 4.9 pp in 2012 to 6.8 pp.

    6.8 − 4.9 = +1.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: SP in 2012, BJP in 2017.
