Defectors will finally fade into oblivion

The migration of 8  delinquent congressmen have not produced immediate visible fruits in terms of portfolio allocations that were deemed imminent on day one when these cold blooded defections took place . There  are  internal rumblings and strictures going on within  and rivalries for  grabbing of few or redundant posts that may or may not be on offer . As of now the initial hype of the two top  recently defected ones that they would get the elevated positions in the hierarchy of the ruling dispensation did not materialize and fructify or culminate into defined visible posts  as earlier presumed.

A double engine sarkar has in reality meant only quarter engine running  full throttle on all fronts whether in governance, administration or portfolio creation and allocations. Only consolation being a  bulging majority for the ruling party and remaining comfortable in numbers.  A full introspection by these exCongressmen now being turncoats who have embraced  totally different ideologies needs to be done, on all pros and cons whether it was worth the gamble of switching sides.They have betrayed the trust bestowed on them, by their constituents big time by committing political suicide. In future hustings, while hanging their heads in shame which in all certainty will be impossible to redeem themselves and win again in whichever party domain they contest.Their earlier 10 defected counterparts are no longer in the political limelight. Most of them were defeated  in the recent elections have since retired to their homes, and have become politically bankrupt.  Political careers are not built overnight but require dedication, nursing and proper grooming imbibing all party ideologies and ethics in the  proper way. Such MLAs turn to be highly skillful and efficiently durable leaders, enduring and lasting a lifetime, delivering successful yeoman service to the people who have reposed faith in electing them. Short lived politics like jumping frogs doesn't last long and will crumble and become extinct in due course of time.
