BJP forming the government without having majority

I saw one major change in the recent elections.

Since, 1996, whenever BJP (with its alliances) become the single largest party/alliance, but get less than the majority, all other parties were getting united and making BJP to sit in the opposition. With the same mindset, I thought, BJP will not form the government in Goa and Manipur. But, I am happy that, the situation is changing.

Of course, 1996 is a very interesting year, where the first largest party was in opposition, second largest party was outside the government supporting it, third largest party was inside the front but outside the government and parties with single MPs got minister posts.
