Shashi Tharoor, a senior leader from Congress, has expressed his disappointment over Congress party functionaries such as Anil Anthony, C.R Kesavan and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy crossing to the “dark side” or the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He believes strongly that politics should have some principles and that individuals have their right to switch party allegiances, but this decision by the said Congress defectors was a mistake according to him, because they are secular-minded people and will not find a safe home in a party that is fundamentally committed to an exclusively communal agenda.
To encourage opposition unity, Mallikarjun Kharge, the AICC President, has taken a remarkable initiative, and this is a good thing. He has provoked the other parties with his gloating over Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification, uniting them in a single cause. In Karnataka, the Congress has welcomed more members who come into the party from other parties, this includes 5 MLAs, 3 MLCs, 11 former MLAs, 4 former MLCs, and 1 former MP. This suggests that Congress is confident about its power and prospects in the upcoming elections in the state.
