Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BSP polled 2,04,783 votes, 11× the 19,491-vote margin.
2,04,783 ÷ 19,491 = 10.5
The top two polled 73.8% of votes; the other 17 candidates 25.0% between them.
(3,85,712 + 3,66,221) ÷ 10,18,998 = 73.8% · 2,54,741 ÷ 10,18,998 = 25.0%
Turnout of 63.0% was 0.8 pp below the state's median seat (63.8%).
63.0 − 63.8 = −0.8
The margin narrowed from 6.8 pp in 2014 to 1.9 pp.
1.9 − 6.8 = −4.9 pp
Santokh Singh Chaudhary also won in 2014.
