A group of five Congress MLAs are reportedly planning to desperately join the ruling BJP in the state sooner or later to enjoy their own 'ache din' in Goa. Well, these were the same leaders who were seen taking oath at the Mahalaxmi temple, Bambolim Cross, Betim mosque etc along with the other Congress candidates just before the recent assembly elections and promising Goans that once elected, they would stay with the Congress and work for the betterment of the people, irrespective of offers made by any other party.
I think that the reason why the Congress is on a verge of almost splitting ones again in the state then that's because the central party bosses have not bothered to promote their own 100% pure genuine grassroot party workers as leaders all these years. I therefore personally feel that a most indisciplined party like the Congress which has practically destroyed Goa by officially promoting pro-Maharashtrawadi/BJP sympathisers like Pratapsingh Rane, Ravi Naik, Ramakant Khalap, Digambar Kamat, etc in a very big way over the years needs to be disbanded at the very earliest.
