Those eight Congress MLAs joining the BJP was a daylight political dacoity. It was expected from the stinking six of them but surprising that Alexio Sequeira and Sankalp Amonkar were also party to this treachery.
That the Nuvem MLA stooped so low in his political twilight and that Sankalp Amonkar who the Congress Party helped to groom, also opted for this political suicide only shows that the alleged Rs 50 crore for each bounty was too tempting to resist.
Even Rudolf Fernandes’s volte-face came as no surprise as he was someone who has never worked for the party and this windfall was irresistible.
Now, Sankalp Amonkar by spitting venom at his former party only exposes himself, as he was the Vice-President and was party to all that was done, rightly or wrongly.
The BJP which is already overloaded with its own MLAs may find it very difficult to accommodate these now unwanted eight in the seats of power and position.
Before the voters teach these eight a lesson, they may have to learn it the hard way from the BJP itself which may discard this political second hand scrap by leaving them without seats of power but to be content only with the pocketful they received.
