Quote This time Uma Bharati, whose Bharatiya Janashakti Party was a party pooper for the saffron camp in 2008 – it wrested 23.4% of the votes – was an ally and not a threat. Unquote
This figure as quoted by the ToI appears to be wrong. < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Assembly_elections_in_India,_2008#Madhya_Pradesh_result> shows this figure to be 4.71%. In that case our earlier conclusion needs be modified as under. Quote So the 44.9% vote share of the BJP this time is actually down from total vote share in 2008 - (37.6 + 23.4 =) 61% i.e. by 15.1% points. Congress is up by 4% points from 32.4% to 36.4%. Unquote to: So the 44.9% vote share of the BJP this time is actually up from total vote share in 2008 - (37.6 + 4.7 =) 42.3% i.e. by 2.6% points.
