Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 24,823 votes, 3.8× the 6,573-vote margin.
24,823 ÷ 6,573 = 3.8
The top two polled 53.8% of votes; the other 18 candidates 46.2% between them.
(35,947 + 29,374) ÷ 1,21,347 = 53.8% · 56,026 ÷ 1,21,347 = 46.2%
Turnout of 42.2% was 4.3 pp below the state's median seat (46.5%).
42.2 − 46.5 = −4.3
The margin narrowed from 8.6 pp in 2002 to 5.4 pp.
5.4 − 8.6 = −3.2 pp
Abdul Kalam also won in 2002.
