Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 36,394 votes, 2.1× the 17,508-vote margin.
36,394 ÷ 17,508 = 2.1
The top two polled 68.0% of votes; the other 13 candidates 32.0% between them.
(67,535 + 50,027) ÷ 1,72,974 = 68.0% · 55,412 ÷ 1,72,974 = 32.0%
Turnout of 84.2% was 6.7 pp above the state's median seat (77.5%).
84.2 − 77.5 = +6.7
