I assume this supposed to show that his party did well in districts with large Muslim populations?
I am not sure what you are trying to say with this. If you are claiming that this means that he can't be that anti-Muslim then I think that's far from the only possible explanation.
For one, you are showing every district with at least 20% Muslim population. So even if every one of them had voted for the opposition, the 80% non-Muslims would have still decided the election.

What are you trying to show by this, if you don't give anything to compare it to?
try: http://ibn.gramener.com/live?Muslim=40%25%2B
or hindi: http://ibn.gramener.com/live?Hindi-speaking=Hindi vs non-hindi http://ibn.gramener.com/live?Hindi-speaking=Rest
Also can someone explain what bi-polar means in this context (best guess so far, single party majority in voting district)? It looks very distinct: http://ibn.gramener.com/live?Bi-polar=Bi-polar
