Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 58,752 votes, 4.8× the 12,324-vote margin.
58,752 ÷ 12,324 = 4.8
The top two polled 68.9% of votes; the other 11 candidates 31.1% between them.
(87,689 + 75,365) ÷ 2,36,500 = 68.9% · 73,446 ÷ 2,36,500 = 31.1%
Turnout of 74.5% was 14.0 pp above the state's median seat (60.5%).
74.5 − 60.5 = +14.0
