Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 6,535 votes, 24× the 272-vote margin.

    6,535 ÷ 272 = 24.0

  2. The top two polled 93.3% of votes; the other 3 candidates 6.7% between them.

    (49,211 + 48,939) ÷ 1,05,211 = 93.3% · 7,061 ÷ 1,05,211 = 6.7%

  3. Turnout of 72.2% was 1.1 pp above the state's median seat (71.1%).

    72.2 − 71.1 = +1.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 3.1 pp in 1996 to 0.3 pp.

    0.3 − 3.1 = −2.8 pp

  5. CPI held the seat it won in 1996.
