Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed BJP polled 10,594 votes, 5.4× the 1,969-vote margin.
10,594 ÷ 1,969 = 5.4
The top two polled 79.1% of votes; the other 5 candidates 20.9% between them.
(46,762 + 44,793) ÷ 1,15,791 = 79.1% · 24,236 ÷ 1,15,791 = 20.9%
Turnout of 64.4% was 2.5 pp below the state's median seat (66.9%).
64.4 − 66.9 = −2.5
