The bluff by those defecting that they have done so for the development of their constituency has now been a convenient hoax that will fool no one. We all know too well that MLAs have been selfishly defecting for the lust of power and greed of money. For their own personal self-development indeed. One does not have to be an MP, MLA, panch or councillor to serve the community. We have so many people silently working for their brethren without any power or position. There needs to be a selfless passion and commitment with perseverance to serve society with dedication. We have been seeing these defections for long. But the recent betrayal by that gang of eight has triggered a massive public outrage as never seen before. They have stooped as low as it could get. That greed of these MLAs to deviously enrich themselves has left the public flabbergasted. For some of them, embracing the BJP was a safe route, rather than having the ED, IT and CBI knocking on their door. If these eight political dacoits had any self respect remaining, they would have sought forgiveness from their voters by resigning as MLAs and gracefully vanishing from the political arena.
