Mumbai turnout at 30-year high: Does it signal Modi wave or anti-incumbency?

Maximum city stamped out its image of electoral apathy on Monday by recording a 55.1% turnout, its highest not only in the post-liberalisation era but since 1989, when it had recorded 57.7%. The city turned up to vote in much larger numbers despite the sweltering heat and long weekend, which had triggered concerns that many would choose to holiday instead.
