Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 26,068 votes, 1.3× the 20,526-vote margin.

The top two polled 68.9% of votes; the other 14 candidates 31.1% between them.
(65,717 + 45,191) ÷ 1,61,053 = 68.9% · 50,144 ÷ 1,61,053 = 31.1%
Turnout of 59.2% was 12.7 pp above the state's median seat (46.5%).
59.2 − 46.5 = +12.7
