Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 32,818 votes, 46× the 716-vote margin.
32,818 ÷ 716 = 45.8
The top two polled 59.1% of votes; the other 14 candidates 40.9% between them.
(43,920 + 43,204) ÷ 1,47,512 = 59.1% · 60,374 ÷ 1,47,512 = 40.9%
Turnout of 55.8% matched the state's median seat.
55.8 − 55.8 = 0.0
