Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 9,628 votes, 1.7× the 5,754-vote margin.
9,628 ÷ 5,754 = 1.7
The top two polled 87.6% of votes; the other 18 candidates 12.4% between them.
(76,537 + 70,783) ÷ 1,68,135 = 87.6% · 20,815 ÷ 1,68,135 = 12.4%
Turnout of 70.1% was 9.7 pp below the state's median seat (79.8%).
70.1 − 79.8 = −9.7
The margin narrowed from 7.5 pp in 2006 to 3.4 pp.
3.4 − 7.5 = −4.1 pp
