This is a very good question indeed. Actually this means nothing. Everything does not depend on central government. If people maintain calm and do not quarrel on every small issue, there will be peace and no communal riots. There are some controversial issue like Kashmir status, Ayodhya Mosque / temple issue, uniform personal law. If the new goverment gets too enthusiastic in such issues, there may be disturbance of peace and communal riots.
Now the question of corruption. Basic cause of corruption is election system. We have seen that astronomical amount has been spent on election campaign. The candidates have won after spending crores of rupees in elections. Smaller parties could not compete in such heavy expenditure and they lost.
The MPs and parties who have spent crores of rupees in election cannot be honest. The money spent by them in elections is an investment just like investment in business. They have to recover this amount with some profit. They can do so only by way of indulgence in corruption. Whether congress or BJP, there is no difference. Every five years people just change the ruling party and everything else remains the same. There can be no end of corruption till elections are cheap.
