Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 1,99,843 votes, 1.8× the 1,12,822-vote margin.

    1,99,843 ÷ 1,12,822 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 70.3% of votes; the other 7 candidates 29.6% between them.

    (3,84,890 + 2,72,068) ÷ 9,34,622 = 70.3% · 2,76,776 ÷ 9,34,622 = 29.6%

  3. Turnout of 76.0% was 6.6 pp below the state's median seat (82.6%).

    76.0 − 82.6 = −6.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 17.3 pp in 2004 to 12.1 pp.

    12.1 − 17.3 = −5.2 pp

  5. RSP held the seat it won in 2004.
