Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 27,115 votes, 4.5× the 5,988-vote margin.
27,115 ÷ 5,988 = 4.5
The top two polled 54.3% of votes; the other 13 candidates 45.7% between them.
(34,386 + 28,398) ÷ 1,15,654 = 54.3% · 52,867 ÷ 1,15,654 = 45.7%
Turnout of 43.7% was 2.8 pp below the state's median seat (46.5%).
43.7 − 46.5 = −2.8
