“Coalition dharma" was a phrase coined by BJP leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee and that is what his political inheritor Narendra Modi will have to follow. After 10 years of brute majority rule, the coalition era might have returned to Indian politics. In India, where people have been delivering fragmented mandates for three decades, coalition politics has been the norm. For most of 80s, 90s and the first decade of this century, no one party received a majority in the Lok Sabha. Then Narendra Modi arrived in Delhi, with a clear majority, marking an end to the messy coalition government. Though part of NDA, the BJP did not need to appease its partners in the next 10 years. Today, the BJP has been voted as the largest party but has failed to cross the magic number of 272 on its own strength.

This will be a first for Narendra Modi, who has never needed a crutch since he won his first Assembly election in Gujarat. Running a coalition government is a tightrope-walk.
