Elections have become a joke not only in Goa but across the country. People elect their candidates only to later see them jumping to another party in the name of development.
But it is not so, development is only for themselves and their families.
This time the rumour mill has it that Rs 40 to 50 crores were given to each of the defectors. This money is like a lottery for the new comers and they will not even mind if they do not get elected the next time.
Some of the defectors have also given different excuses. An interesting one was from Digambar Kamat who said he had spoken to God and He told him to go ahead and take whatever action he felt was right.
It is great that Kamat can talk directly to God. We only hope he asks God to give him better sense and not to do any wrong to our State in his ripe age.
All said and done, everyone needs to congratulate the three Congress MLAs who stood loyal to their party and their voters.
