By jumping ship, the 8 congress MLAs in Goa have administered a severe shock to the party. Politics in India has become the most lucrative business, with the fastest gains in fortune.
The Congress leadership was unable to prevent the desertions. It is unfortunate that people have re-elected most of the defectors when they contested the elections under their new banner.
The Congress had taken all its candidates to a temple, a church and a dargah to take a vow that they would not defect after winning the election. But the vow has not worked.
The pledge of loyalty has blown up in air. Former CM Digambar Kamat comically claimed that he had got God’s permission to switch loyalty.
Most of Congress leaders have gone for power, money and amid threats from government agencies in corruptions and now started to praise and love BJP.
Today Congress lacks leadership. The law of nature is to rise and fall, For nearly seven decades they enjoyed power and now it's over for the Congress.
