Congress is really putting its best foot forward and trying to leave no stone unturned by deploying its down to earth 5 MLAs or foot soldiers to camp in Chennai.This would seem insignificant but all the more effective deterrent for the remaining 6 from defecting with a 3/4th number of 8 and shattering the unity of the party.The most ethical alternative for these beleaguered MLAs wanting to defect is to resign and seek a proper mandate if they are hell bent on joining the opposite camp to seek greener pastures. This should be the character and genuine morals shown by these 5 Congress MLAs and show their subordinates how not to defect in such tumultuous times.This way the leadership of the party has made it amply clear to the opposition that they know how to keep their flock secure from poaching and horse trading. The party's contingency plans has been shaken and has witnessed a spate of defections in recent times. The leadership has to be more vigilant and diligently watchful and sense all dangers in advance and take remedial measures in time.
