Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 44,287 votes, 2.4× the 18,555-vote margin.
44,287 ÷ 18,555 = 2.4
The top two polled 85.4% of votes; the other 20 candidates 12.8% between them.
(2,76,897 + 2,58,342) ÷ 6,27,014 = 85.4% · 80,428 ÷ 6,27,014 = 12.8%
Turnout of 58.5% was 1.6 pp below the state's median seat (60.1%).
58.5 − 60.1 = −1.6
The margin narrowed from 20.1 pp in 1993 to 3.0 pp.
3.0 − 20.1 = −17.1 pp
Umrao Singh, the 1993 winner, finished second in 1996.
1993 winner name = 1996 runner-up name
