Congratulations to the three Congress MLAs who refused to jump to the ruling party and for standing up for true democratic values.
My point of view for elections from the beginning was to focus on the particular person and not the party! That being said, most of the 8 defectors, particularly the seasoned ones, always carried that tag of dishonesty and despite this the Congress leadership was naive to trust them.
In fact, some of these key defectors were actually responsible for Congress losing seats at the elections in the first place. Most of the defectors say that they did so for the betterment of the people and for development.
If this is so, it would be better if the gang of 8 had to resign their seats and contest again. If not that, I find the reasons just to be lame excuses.
