Fiercely=>in a fierce or vehement manner.
But in so doing it has ceded considerable power to a faction within its organisational structure that is both fiercely autonomous and frequently defiant.
……………
Fringe=> बाहरी किनारा
Fringe=> to go along or around (something).
After politically exploiting his divisive rhetoric, and allowing him to share State-level campaign space with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP would have found it difficult to refuse Mr. Adityanath a prominent role in post-election U.P. But to make him the Chief Minister is to risk the fringe taking hold of the centre.
Willy nilly=> ज़बर्दस्ती
Willy nilly=>in a careless and unplanned way.
In doing so, the BJP has willy nilly shifted the discourse from development, which Mr. Modi often projected in the election campaign.
………………

But the tact and sense that was evident at that stage seems to have been lost in the messy triumphalism after the victory.

Rein=> बागडोर
Rein=> the ability to limit or control something.
By opting for two Deputy Chief Ministers, Keshav Prasad Maurya, the party’s State president who is from the backward classes, and Dinesh Sharma, the Mayor of Lucknow who is a Brahmin, the BJP is perhaps hoping to not only get the caste representation right in the Cabinet but also rein in Mr. Adityanath.
Persuasion=> धारणा
Persuasion=> a particular type of belief or way of thinking.
Outflank=> चौका देनेवाली कृती से आगे बढ़ना

Aerate=>to put air or a gas into (something, such as soil or a liquid).
