Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 30,025 votes, 2.4× the 12,293-vote margin.

    30,025 ÷ 12,293 = 2.4

  2. The top two polled 82.7% of votes; the other 6 candidates 17.3% between them.

    (97,629 + 85,336) ÷ 2,21,122 = 82.7% · 38,157 ÷ 2,21,122 = 17.3%

  3. Turnout of 85.8% was 2.1 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    85.8 − 83.7 = +2.1

  4. The margin widened from 1.2 pp in 2011 to 5.6 pp.

    5.6 − 1.2 = +4.4 pp

  5. Nagendra Nath Roy also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
