Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 1,97,244 votes, 4.8× the 41,470-vote margin.

    1,97,244 ÷ 41,470 = 4.8

  2. The top two polled 64.7% of votes; the other 14 candidates 35.3% between them.

    (2,43,532 + 2,02,062) ÷ 6,88,547 = 64.7% · 2,42,952 ÷ 6,88,547 = 35.3%

  3. Turnout of 70.4% was 0.6 pp above the state's median seat (69.8%).

    70.4 − 69.8 = +0.6

  4. The margin widened from 3.5 pp in 2004 to 6.0 pp.

    6.0 − 3.5 = +2.5 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 2004, BJP in 2009.
