Unfortunately, I think that is the likely outcome.

Looking like a third term but in coalition and a bit of a disappointment for the BJP.

I'm just reading this. Rahul Gandhi not denying the possibility of forming a government. It may be wishful thinking on his part but it is looking a lot closer than analysts predicted. IMO this can only be a good thing.

TDP & Janata Dal have now backed Modi. Pretty much game over now.

Yep, though it will be interesting to see if this acts as a restraint or a spur. Certainly the opposition are invigorated.
