Politics in India has become the most lucrative business, with the fastest gains in fortune. The politics of Goa is not new to turncoats. 60% of Goa’s 40 MLAs have switched parties during the current five-year term. Political parties opt for winnability over credibility, it's the voters choice to decide if they want the cash doles or future development. Election time will always be a harvesting time for politicians to grab money and power by jumping from one party to another. Recently politicians have been jumping from parties not for the love of Goa but for themselves and their families. The cash or largesse given by politicians is from the money looted from the common man. But once the vote is received, they show their true colour. The system is held tightly and manipulated for five years by deal-making politicians. A politician who works for the public day and night and who leaves no stone unturned to keep it sailing on the tide of progress needs our unbridled support, admiration and acknowledgement. Citizens want a government that cares for the people's welfare and not one that cares for its own agenda.
