India’s Modi is not known for leading by collaboration. After lackluster election result, he may have to adapt

LA Times  

Since coming to power a decade ago, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been known for aggressive and often snap decisions that he has found easy to execute thanks to the majority he enjoyed in India’s lower house of parliament. In his expected next term as prime minister — when he will need a coalition to govern after election results announced Wednesday showed that his Hindu nationalist party fell short of a majority — Modi may have to adapt to a leadership style with which he has little experience. “Negotiating and forming a coalition, working with coalition partners, grappling with the trade-offs that come with coalition politics — none of this fits in well with Modi’s brand of assertive and go-it-alonepolitics,” said Michael Kugelman, director of the Wilson Center’s South Asia Institute. But the coalition to which the party belongs, the National Democratic Alliance, secured a majority in the 543-seat lower house that should allow Modi to retain power in the world’s most populous nation. However, Vaishnav said, “we shouldn’t lose sight that the BJP is still in the driver’s seat.” To be sure, Modi’s most consequential Hindu nationalist policies and actions are locked in — including a controversial citizenship law and the Hindu temple he had built atop a razed mosque.
