Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 1,55,589 votes, 13× the 11,702-vote margin.

    1,55,589 ÷ 11,702 = 13.3

  2. The top two polled 65.9% of votes; the other 7 candidates 31.6% between them.

    (1,99,303 + 1,87,601) ÷ 5,87,130 = 65.9% · 1,85,632 ÷ 5,87,130 = 31.6%

  3. Turnout of 60.4% was 0.7 pp above the state's median seat (59.7%).

    60.4 − 59.7 = +0.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 2.6 pp in 1991 to 2.0 pp.

    2.0 − 2.6 = −0.6 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1991.
