As expected, the turn-out of voters in 2014 general elections is a record 66.38 % as per the Election Commission statement after the polling was over today. It may be slightly increased also after final check.
The maximum polling earlier was in 1984-85 election when the voter turn out was 64.1% with a sympathy wave on the assassination of Indira Gandhi.
The increase in voting is good for democracy. Congratulations to the voters.

By today evening, the general elections polling will be over. The results will be out by 16th May 2014.
The moot question is who will win? It is certain that no single party or alliance is going to reach the majority magic number of 272. As per the majority media reports Congress will lose heavily with no chance of forming the government. BJP may get the number one position, but no majority to form the government. Most of the regional parties have stated that they will have no truck with BJP.
There is a chance of formation of a third front government, if the regional parties come together with the support or at the initiative of the Left Parties. This will be the best option for the country. Congress may not like such a situation, but they may be compelled to support the third front, at least to avoid a BJP Government.
The exit polls will start coming by today evening and the results will be declared on 16th May. Let us wait for the same.
