The media has reported that the Congress leaders and a RTI activist have filed disqualification petitions before the Goa Legislative Assembly Speaker, against eight Congress MLAs who left the party and defected to the ruling BJP after having passed a resolution, to merge the legislative wing with the BJP. Obviously these disqualification petitions as everyone knows may be just to appease and pacify the supporters of Congress party and also the posterity that something was done by some Congress leaders and concerned activists hoping to undo what's already a fait accompli. Everyone knows that the Speaker is not expected to work against the interest of his party. Anyway he has announced to the media that he will issue notices to the concerned parties and hold the first hearing on petitions in about 15 days. Let's wait and see what's the outcome. In fact Congress party instead of filing such petitions should seriously introspect why such deceitful acts take place, where elected MLAs defect without any hesitation or remorse. Obviously the main reason being that nowadays there are very few committed Congress MLAs that wouldn't resist any profitable offers, if received from the ruling party.
