Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed INC polled 1,82,893 votes, 1.1× the 1,62,708-vote margin.
1,82,893 ÷ 1,62,708 = 1.1
The top two polled 76.7% of votes; the other 27 candidates 22.7% between them.
(4,53,350 + 2,90,642) ÷ 9,69,812 = 76.7% · 2,20,231 ÷ 9,69,812 = 22.7%
Turnout of 65.1% was 0.3 pp below the state's median seat (65.4%).
65.1 − 65.4 = −0.3
The margin narrowed from 24.5 pp in 2009 to 16.8 pp.
16.8 − 24.5 = −7.7 pp
