time for a new PM candidate

Something changed.  I cannot put a date to it. Something opened up. 

The election was transiting in phases; so was the public mood. 

The common refrain was, "chunav palat gaya hai"; the election has turned. 

This election was not contested by political parties, it was contested by the people. 

The BJP is likely to fall well short, of the majority mark of 272. 

In the context of the party's stranglehold over money, a servile media, spinelessness of institutions like the Election Commission, any number below 300 would be a defeat for the regime.
