Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 26,550 votes, 8.6× the 3,096-vote margin.
26,550 ÷ 3,096 = 8.6
The top two polled 62.2% of votes; the other 11 candidates 37.8% between them.
(36,829 + 33,733) ÷ 1,13,429 = 62.2% · 42,866 ÷ 1,13,429 = 37.8%
Turnout of 44.9% was 1.6 pp below the state's median seat (46.5%).
44.9 − 46.5 = −1.6
The margin narrowed from 8.3 pp in 2002 to 2.7 pp.
2.7 − 8.3 = −5.6 pp
