Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 29,651 votes, 1.6× the 18,066-vote margin.
29,651 ÷ 18,066 = 1.6
The top two polled 76.6% of votes; the other 2 candidates 23.4% between them.
(67,913 + 49,847) ÷ 1,53,818 = 76.6% · 36,058 ÷ 1,53,818 = 23.4%
Turnout of 75.5% was 8.6 pp above the state's median seat (66.9%).
75.5 − 66.9 = +8.6
The margin widened from 9.9 pp in 2004 to 11.7 pp.
