Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.3% of votes; the other 3 candidates 1.1% between them.

    (2,88,791 + 2,63,738) ÷ 5,67,922 = 97.3% · 6,527 ÷ 5,67,922 = 1.1%

  2. Turnout of 81.9% was 4.7 pp above the state's median seat (77.2%).

    81.9 − 77.2 = +4.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 16.3 pp in 1980 to 4.4 pp.

    4.4 − 16.3 = −11.9 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC(U) in 1980, INC in 1984.
