Arithmetic · working shown

The top two polled 97.2% of votes; the other 21 candidates 2.8% between them.
(3,16,329 + 1,82,151) ÷ 5,12,784 = 97.2% · 14,340 ÷ 5,12,784 = 2.8%
Turnout of 49.1% was 12.2 pp below the state's median seat (61.3%).
49.1 − 61.3 = −12.2
The margin widened from 22.2 pp in 1999 to 26.2 pp.
