Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 1,33,106 votes, 3.1× the 42,504-vote margin.

    1,33,106 ÷ 42,504 = 3.1

  2. The top two polled 78.1% of votes; the other 3 candidates 21.9% between them.

    (2,94,065 + 2,51,561) ÷ 6,98,700 = 78.1% · 1,53,074 ÷ 6,98,700 = 21.9%

  3. Turnout of 60.5% was 6.0 pp above the state's median seat (54.5%).

    60.5 − 54.5 = +6.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.4 pp in 1996 to 6.1 pp.

    6.1 − 9.4 = −3.3 pp

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