Why are we not seeing defections from the BJP?

Yet a second attempt to cross over after failure of the first botched efforts. The voters did show their annoyance by dumping the traitors. The reason for changing sides is crystal clear  either for enrichment, position, power and also to hide their skeletons of misdeeds. That voting is considered as sacred duty is a myth. A simple rule  is that defectors must resign including independents and be banned for at least two terms. They should also not hold any office of profits under government. The entire cost of re-election must be recovered from the  defector. The voters are frustrated as after voting they can be ignored with impunity.

Hence defections after election for development including self is an alibi no voter buys.  What is the choice left for honest voter. Dharnas and sit ins at defectors  residences will not stand the test of law.
