P. With this change, what was once marginal has now become central leading to alliances, agreements, coalitions and accommodations.

R. With the margins having a say, untrammelled acceptance of ineffective policies and bad ideas is no longer possible.
S. And, on the other side, coalition politics has worked its magic and India's potential bureaucrat-visionaries now have too many feet in the aisle ready to trip them over.
T. However, such a shift has changed and deepened India's democracy.
