Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed INC polled 2,03,240 votes, 1.1× the 1,90,463-vote margin.
2,03,240 ÷ 1,90,463 = 1.1
The top two polled 79.7% of votes; the other 21 candidates 19.8% between them.
(5,72,202 + 3,81,739) ÷ 11,96,336 = 79.7% · 2,37,420 ÷ 11,96,336 = 19.8%
Turnout of 65.4% matched the state's median seat.
65.4 − 65.4 = 0.0
The margin narrowed from 28.1 pp in 2009 to 15.9 pp.
15.9 − 28.1 = −12.2 pp
The seat changed hands: INC in 2009, BJP in 2014.
