What else to justify eight defectors' dark deeds?

Following in the footsteps of the infamous Digambar Kamat's divine sanction, now the St Cruz MLA Rodolfo Fernandes is justifying his leapfrogging into the arms of the BJP, by telling people that he spoke to his departed Mummy and that she gave him her blessings to join the saffron brigade. 

Soon it will be the turn of the remaining six Judases to improvise on their fantasy excuses. Can they not see the folly of their cheap and laughable excuses in trying to defend the indefensible that makes them more of a laughing stock in the eyes of God and the betrayed electorate?

Having failed to convince the living with every lie and excuse, for their unforgivable betrayal of the people and their mockery of God, some of these eight cheaters are now desperately misusing the name of God and disturbing the peace of their dearly departed. It is a sad reflection of politics in our Goa that even the dead are not allowed to rest in peace! 

At the next election the betrayed electorate will pass their judgement and ensure the political careers of those eight defectors will RIP! No amount of help from God, the dead or the living will save them.
