Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 1,79,942 votes, 13× the 13,426-vote margin.

    1,79,942 ÷ 13,426 = 13.4

  2. The top two polled 63.1% of votes; the other 9 candidates 36.9% between them.

    (2,26,865 + 2,13,439) ÷ 6,97,961 = 63.1% · 2,57,657 ÷ 6,97,961 = 36.9%

  3. Turnout of 55.3% was 0.8 pp above the state's median seat (54.5%).

    55.3 − 54.5 = +0.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.5 pp in 1996 to 1.9 pp.

    1.9 − 7.5 = −5.6 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJP in 1996, SP in 1998.
