Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed INC polled 2,423 votes, 2.1× the 1,175-vote margin.
2,423 ÷ 1,175 = 2.1
The top two polled 87.0% of votes; the other 1 candidate 10.9% between them.
(10,246 + 9,071) ÷ 22,198 = 87.0% · 2,423 ÷ 22,198 = 10.9%
Turnout of 98.5% was 6.5 pp above the state's median seat (92.0%).
98.5 − 92.0 = +6.5
The seat changed hands: INC in 1998, BJP in 2003.
