Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 8,829 votes, 1.2× the 7,583-vote margin.

    8,829 ÷ 7,583 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 93.1% of votes; the other 2 candidates 6.9% between them.

    (71,509 + 63,926) ÷ 1,45,512 = 93.1% · 10,077 ÷ 1,45,512 = 6.9%

  3. Turnout of 73.3% was 2.0 pp below the state's median seat (75.3%).

    73.3 − 75.3 = −2.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 13.9 pp in 2006 to 5.2 pp.

    5.2 − 13.9 = −8.7 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: CPI in 2006, INC in 2011.
