Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 34,524 votes, 3.3× the 10,362-vote margin.
34,524 ÷ 10,362 = 3.3
The top two polled 61.4% of votes; the other 16 candidates 38.6% between them.
(60,341 + 49,979) ÷ 1,79,611 = 61.4% · 69,291 ÷ 1,79,611 = 38.6%
Turnout of 50.3% was 9.1 pp below the state's median seat (59.4%).
50.3 − 59.4 = −9.1
