The BJP Government in the country has to be condemned for engineering defection in at least four states. In Karnataka, the BJP formed the government after splitting the Congress, which had received the mandate of the people. Similar was the case in Madhya Pradesh where Congress MLAs where ensnared by the power hungry BJP. In Goa, the practice seems to have become a perennial one. And by now it is Maharashtra, where the Shiv Sena has been at the receiving end. The BJP seems to have thrown political ethics to the wind in a show of unabated greed to wrest power in the country. Even now, in Rajasthan, where there is a popular mandate in favour of the Congress, the BJP is trying to destabilize the constitutionally mandated Congress government. In West Bengal, where the BJP was forced to face a humiliating defeat, the TMC Government has been resisting every attempt to cede power. TMC has been far too strong for the BJP to even remotely be able to manipulate the strong mandate of the people of West Bengal.
