Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JD polled 1,21,764 votes, 1.1× the 1,14,517-vote margin.

    1,21,764 ÷ 1,14,517 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 79.3% of votes; the other 2 candidates 18.3% between them.

    (3,23,588 + 2,09,071) ÷ 6,72,037 = 79.3% · 1,22,890 ÷ 6,72,037 = 18.3%

  3. Turnout of 59.0% was 1.8 pp below the state's median seat (60.8%).

    59.0 − 60.8 = −1.8

  4. The margin widened from 9.8 pp in 1996 to 17.0 pp.

    17.0 − 9.8 = +7.2 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1996.
