Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 23,665 votes, 1.8× the 13,332-vote margin.
23,665 ÷ 13,332 = 1.8
The top two polled 71.1% of votes; the other 3 candidates 28.9% between them.
(66,150 + 52,818) ÷ 1,67,404 = 71.1% · 48,436 ÷ 1,67,404 = 28.9%
Turnout of 76.2% was 2.7 pp above the state's median seat (73.5%).
76.2 − 73.5 = +2.7
The margin narrowed from 17.6 pp in 2014 to 8.0 pp.
8.0 − 17.6 = −9.6 pp
