Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 69,117 votes, 2.0× the 35,395-vote margin.

    69,117 ÷ 35,395 = 2.0

  2. The top two polled 70.9% of votes; the other 9 candidates 29.1% between them.

    (1,13,225 + 77,830) ÷ 2,69,395 = 70.9% · 78,340 ÷ 2,69,395 = 29.1%

  3. Turnout of 62.8% was 2.3 pp above the state's median seat (60.5%).

    62.8 − 60.5 = +2.3

  4. The margin widened from 4.5 pp in 2012 to 13.1 pp.

    13.1 − 4.5 = +8.6 pp

  5. BJP held the seat it won in 2012.
