Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 15,732 votes, 2.3× the 6,870-vote margin.
15,732 ÷ 6,870 = 2.3
The top two polled 79.7% of votes; the other 8 candidates 19.9% between them.
(50,725 + 43,855) ÷ 1,18,713 = 79.7% · 23,602 ÷ 1,18,713 = 19.9%
Turnout of 52.5% was 6.0 pp above the state's median seat (46.5%).
52.5 − 46.5 = +6.0
The margin widened from 1.9 pp in 2002 to 5.8 pp.
5.8 − 1.9 = +3.9 pp
