Answer
Margin of victory in the election for the successful candidate = Number of votes registered by the winner-Number of votes secured by nearest rival candidate
Votes registered by the winner $= 5,77,570$
Votes secured by the rival $= 3,48,685$
Therefore, Margin of victory for the successful candidate
$= 5,77,570 - 3,48,685 = 2,28, 885$
Votes registered by the winner $= 5,77,570$
Votes secured by the rival $= 3,48,685$
Therefore, Margin of victory for the successful candidate
$= 5,77,570 - 3,48,685 = 2,28, 885$
