The Economist looks at the new goverment and finds that the coalition, however fragile, will be held together by a fear of the return of BJP, and by the worry that in a snap election Congress might do even better at its partners' expense (Economist.com).

It also makes the point that Congress' strength in the coalition can be seen in its success at holding the four most important - finance, foreign, home and defence - portfolios. Interestingly the PM, the foreign minister and the home minister are not elected and will be nominated to the Rajya Sabha.
