Sting operation against poll candidates or fake news?

The sensational sting operation  exposing the greed of 4 candidates;  3 of  the Congress and one from Trinamool Congress has gone viral. Even before the election results, these avaricious  representatives have stooped low,  willing  not only to bend  but crawl and sell their souls, if the price is met. It is a visible glimpse for those who always doubted the real motives  and intentions of turn coats, switching over  and defecting for development of their own nest. Why would they jeopardize  their future prospects  if not for money and take risks in truncating  their lucrative life long profession in politics?  The voters stand betrayed.

The immediate reactions of faithful hounds is that the sting operation is fake. What is fake, the conversations, voice, the situations, the transactions in partial cash exchange, their solemn assurances to be a part of diabolic plot of defections and rope in more on the fence with the blessings of those in charge?

Will the state institute a probe against their own  initiates  or those that are part of the sting operations sue the Hindi channel for defamation for ruining their careers on the eve of elections? Those named from Congress Party are Avertano Furtado, Sankalp  Amonkar, Savio D Silva and Churchill Alemao of TMC.
