Some Oppn leaders and their self interests

Goa Forward Party (GFP) president Vijay Sardesai while speaking in support of Karapur demonstraion at Azad Maidan on Sunday was heard giving his own silly explanations over the topic of opposition unity after one noted activist openly blasted/accused all opposition leaders for fighting among themselves like small kindergarten kids and still not uniting to defeat the BJP in the coming assembly elections. Well, after hearing the conflicting statements of these opposition leaders (especially of Vijay Sardesai and the like), it looks like most of them have finally decided to jump in the BJP after getting re-elected in the coming assembly elections and to enjoy their own 'ache-din' in Goa. Because these leaders don't mind if their respective parties get one or two seats and cannot form their own government. I therefore feel that Goans should not expect anything much from such self-centered opposition leaders because most of them are inwardly just waiting to become powerful ministers in a BJP government after the assembly elections and are not at all interested in stopping the ongoing destruction of the state but are interested in working for their own self interests.
