Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 38,025 votes, 5.9× the 6,407-vote margin.
38,025 ÷ 6,407 = 5.9
The top two polled 66.4% of votes; the other 8 candidates 33.2% between them.
(51,004 + 44,597) ÷ 1,43,958 = 66.4% · 47,837 ÷ 1,43,958 = 33.2%
Turnout of 57.0% was 1.2 pp above the state's median seat (55.8%).
57.0 − 55.8 = +1.2
