Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 2,33,887 votes, 2.1× the 1,09,659-vote margin.

    2,33,887 ÷ 1,09,659 = 2.1

  2. The top two polled 68.7% of votes; the other 7 candidates 30.5% between them.

    (4,92,326 + 3,82,667) ÷ 12,73,771 = 68.7% · 3,88,807 ÷ 12,73,771 = 30.5%

  3. Turnout of 85.5% was 2.5 pp above the state's median seat (83.0%).

    85.5 − 83.0 = +2.5

  4. The margin widened from 5.8 pp in 2009 to 8.6 pp.

    8.6 − 5.8 = +2.8 pp

  5. AITC held the seat it won in 2009.
