Overall, this election has been a search for two answers: how the UPA-2 can be kept out of power and whether or not BJP can be allowed to form a coalition government. Various feelings have led to a higher turnout: distrust, adoration, disillusionment, anger. The same pattern may or not may not repeat itself in 2019, provided the new government can survive for that long. But if it does, we can call ourselves a mature democracy.
