Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed IND polled 20,524 votes, 2.0× the 10,301-vote margin.
20,524 ÷ 10,301 = 2.0
The top two polled 88.0% of votes; the other 13 candidates 12.0% between them.
(2,89,409 + 2,79,108) ÷ 6,46,305 = 88.0% · 77,714 ÷ 6,46,305 = 12.0%
Turnout of 49.8% was 1.8 pp above the state's median seat (48.0%).
49.8 − 48.0 = +1.8
The margin narrowed from 7.5 pp in 2004 to 1.6 pp.
1.6 − 7.5 = −5.9 pp
The seat changed hands: BJP in 2004, INC in 2009.
