Supporters of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) can be forgiven for asking themselves dismally when there will be good news.

- ADITI PHADNIS

Time for accommodation

The party managed to form the government at the Centre with the help of allies after sliding to 240 seats from 303 in the previous Lok Sabha elections. After the retirement of nominated members, with 90 seats of the 245, it no longer has a majority of its own in the Rajya Sabha. It managed to win only two of the 13 Assembly byelections this month.

This string of setbacks is manifesting itself in different ways but it is at its starkest in state politics. In the 18 states and Union Territories where the BJP has its government (albeit shored up by alliance partners in some) out of the 36, the government is showing aggression and assertion in defence. Equally, the Congress and other INDIA partners are now more combative than before. Political and policy contestation has suddenly become more vigorous.
