Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 27,824 votes, 3.4× the 8,228-vote margin.
27,824 ÷ 8,228 = 3.4
The top two polled 66.0% of votes; the other 14 candidates 34.0% between them.
(52,658 + 44,430) ÷ 1,47,044 = 66.0% · 49,955 ÷ 1,47,044 = 34.0%
Turnout of 58.6% was 12.1 pp above the state's median seat (46.5%).
58.6 − 46.5 = +12.1
The margin widened from 4.1 pp in 2002 to 5.6 pp.
5.6 − 4.1 = +1.5 pp
