As the BJP inches forward with its seat-sharing exercise with current and potential allies, including its estranged former partners in the NDA, its faultlines, till now given cover by PM Narendra Modi’s authoritarianism, have started coming out into the open. The BJP-BJD alliance talks took a direct hit after an open revolt by the party's state unit. It is the latest hint of greater troubles waiting in the wings for the BJP and the NDA across the country. Lying dormant until now, the troubles will erupt if Modi doesn't rein in his streak of authoritarianism. Discontent within the BJP, and in the NDA, has gone up to ominous levels.
