From Radha Rajan's article its clear that forming coalitions was the right thing but the wrong thng was to allow the regional outfits to eat into BJP's share. But if you look at it the regionals are all decimated and if they want to survive in another form they have to ally and even merge with BJP. The big picture is the BJP lost quite few of its seats ~ 60 due to infighting and wrong candidates. It lost even more in multi-cornered contests. Here one needs a master fixer which Jaitley wasnt.
BTW I wouldnt put too much into her articles as they appear like rants of a disgruntled person who thinks BJP is a false vehicle when her goal was itself unattainable.
