Thoughts on election results
I am positive about the results due to various reasons 1. One party not having full majority means the there will be speakers and key ministries from alliance partners. Power won't get centralised to single individual. 2. Since the loksabha speaker will be from an alliance partner, it will be harder to arbitrarily suspend opposition members to pass the bills. 3. Corporates will start funding opposition parties as well and the competition will be in more level playing field. 4. The government will be forced to have real discussions in parliament due to not having a full majority. This will strengthen the parliamentary democracy.
This will work assuming all people work honestly.
This can go other way also
Two states will get unofficial priority status.
People in those states will start filling their pockets
The big party won't be able control this, because they will be busy in saving government.
Previously good reforms were stopped by outside forces now there might be internal sabotage.
one palturam will become agent of opposition and good things might stall
This has happened before for ten years during 2004-2014
Yes, there are obvious down sides with too many power centres.
But parliament was much more productive in 2004-2014. There were real discussions and great bills like RTI were made at that time. One reason was that neither UPA nor NDA had absolute control over parliament at that time.
Upa also did the same.

Coalition politics is not new to India. The last time we had it, it was over for the India story.
Also folks who resort to such journo logic arguments really need to study deeply about how countries like the US, China, Japan, South Korea, and the whole of Europe developed both economically as well as strong nation-states.
None of the reasons listed above are forces for the good.
