Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 17,229 votes, 9.6× the 1,787-vote margin.
17,229 ÷ 1,787 = 9.6
The top two polled 66.9% of votes; the other 15 candidates 33.1% between them.
(29,938 + 28,151) ÷ 86,804 = 66.9% · 28,711 ÷ 86,804 = 33.1%
Turnout of 24.0% was 22.5 pp below the state's median seat (46.5%).
24.0 − 46.5 = −22.5
The margin narrowed from 4.2 pp in 2002 to 2.1 pp.
2.1 − 4.2 = −2.1 pp
