Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 84.1% of votes; the other 6 candidates 10.9% between them.

    (3,85,829 + 2,61,470) ÷ 7,69,913 = 84.1% · 83,842 ÷ 7,69,913 = 10.9%

  2. Turnout of 59.3% was 10.9 pp below the state's median seat (70.2%).

    59.3 − 70.2 = −10.9

  3. The margin widened from 14.7 pp in 2011 to 16.2 pp.

    16.2 − 14.7 = +1.5 pp

  4. Dinesh Kashyap also won in 2011.
