Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 4,567 votes, 1.4× the 3,235-vote margin.

    4,567 ÷ 3,235 = 1.4

  2. The top two polled 90.6% of votes; the other 5 candidates 8.1% between them.

    (31,858 + 28,623) ÷ 66,766 = 90.6% · 5,390 ÷ 66,766 = 8.1%

  3. Turnout of 66.5% was 7.9 pp below the state's median seat (74.4%).

    66.5 − 74.4 = −7.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 10.9 pp in 1980 to 4.8 pp.

    4.8 − 10.9 = −6.1 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1980.
