With rumors going off like fire crackers during Diwali about our esteemed Congress MLAs intention to jump the political fence, the Congress Party is caught between a rock and a hard place.
The Congress President and firefighter is desperate, and while doing his best knows it is not good enough. The fire is now bigger than Sonsodo which was Goa’s biggest fire until a few days ago. The Congress President is worried because the MLAs might be tempted to take a bite of the apple which is more delicious than anything Adam and Eve ever had the privilege to eat. Make no mistake: this is a 5-star apple. The President of the BJP says humorously there are no vacancies at present for new migrant Congress MLAs. I guess the turncoat MLAs will have to wait in line. With it pouring cats and dogs, some say tigers and mastiffs, they might be safer inside their houses. With the heavy rains taking its toll it is not at all a bad idea. Meanwhile, the supporters of both parties are braying at the moon. The Congress supporters are shocked and surprised (why I don’t know) at the betrayal of the Congress MLAs. At this point this piece of news is a rumor but Sonsodo reminds us where there is smoke there is fire. And it looks like a smoking gun. The BJP supporters are angry because they don’t want Congress pariahs to pollute the pure blood of the BJP. Are Congress MLAs untouchables? Even the BJP don't want them? Some moral policemen and policewomen who dress funny are critical of prostitutes who sell their bodies to the highest bidder. But, all the same, they are willing to give their blessings to athletics who jump political fences. Isn't this disgusting? A prostitute is selling her or his own body. If she or he is harming anyone it is himself or herself. Can you compare their behavior to MLAs who jump political fences? The MLAs have sold or are willing to sell their voters trust! What they promise before the election and what they do after is quite different and contrary to all expectations. They have buried their assurances and their manifesto in a dark and dangerous tomb. And, after the election want to do or do the opposite of what they had promised previously. He who dares enter shall turn to salt? Voter, don't kid yourself. They do not carry the burden of a conscience. They will give you a big hug, and pat on the back, and then laugh all the way to the bank or wherever it is they keep their loot. Never compare an MLA who jumps the political fence to a prostitute. You will be insulting the prostitute.
