Mumbai, April 29 -- The first three rounds of the 2019 Parliamentary election are over but these did not witness either a pro-Modi or anti-Modi wave. There are reasons why the election so far has been without a wave. The first evidence is in the turnout: compared to the 2014 election. The same constituencies have seen a moderate or lower turnout in the first three rounds. The overall turnout in the first phase was 69.5%, merely 1.5% more than the last Lok Sabha election. The second phase witnessed a turnout of 69.4%, which was more or less the same as in the 2014 poll. The third phase saw a turnout of 67.8%, which was 1.8% higher than the 2014 election. A wave election normally sees a higher turnout, as was the case in 1977; it witnessed a 5% increase in voting compared to the previous Lok Sabha elections held in 1971. Similarly, compared to the 1980 Lok Sabha election, the turnout in the 1984 one went up by 8%. The 2014 Lok Sabha election saw an 8% increase in turnout compared to the 2009 one. For the 2019 polls, the first three rounds have witnessed virtually no change in the overall turnout, though there may be some constituency-level variance....
