A mandate for Constitution and consensus
New Indian ExpressSome are destroyed by defeat, and some are made small and mean by victory. Prime Minister Narendra Modi created history by becoming the second political leader after Jawaharlal Nehru to be sworn in as prime minister of the world’s largest democracy for a third consecutive term. While the Congress under Nehru won the three Lok Sabha elections in 1952, 1957 and 1962 with almost two-thirds majorities, the BJP captured power with the help of its allies—alone, it couldn’t conjure up the majority figure of 272 seats on the third attempt. Nevertheless, the hurriedly-stitched pre-poll National Democratic Alliance triumphantly returned to Raisina Hill under Modi’s leadership with just under 300 seats. India is back to the coalition era that began after Rajiv Gandhi’s defeat in 1989 and ended after almost 25 years in 2014 when Modi ensured full majority for the BJP.
