The electorate has proved them both wrong. Clearly, both sides were out of touch with the public mood. In the last election in 2002, the voter turnout had also been good in the Kashmir Valley, barring the leading urban centres, although about 700 people had been killed by terrorists for showing interest in the poll process. This time around the terrorists have not shown their hand. This has certainly been a factor in the turnout — between 50 and over 60 per cent at most polling stations in the Valley — being higher than in 2002.
