Dear members how many of you have heard about Gangadas and Yamunadas?

Yes there are many Gangadases and Yamunadases around us. I appreciate such people. Changing the stance according to the situation is a great virtue. Everybody cannot do it.

I know many people who belong to this category who are fence sitters and talk according to convenience and situation.I feel that we cannot  take such people seriously since you never can be sure which side of the fence they would jump..

Minister Paswan is a good example. He is in all Ministeries irrespective of party in power. Another one was Ajit Singh. It sure requires some skill.

As You said everyone cannot do that, I don't think there could be many of that kind. It takes special qualities to be one :)

I Agree, as they say beware of sycophants since they will never tell you the reality. They will talk as if they're the best well wishers but the reality may differ.

It reminds me of the old political satire “Aya Ram Gaya Ram”, a political term created due to the repeated changing of party by an MLA in a short period.

Oh, if we talk in terms of poiticians there is none to beat

These Ganga dases and Yamuna dases believe in the age old adage, " Jaisa Dhoop Waisa Chata." Change your umbrella in tune with the weather.

Another name for this is turncoats. This tribe is there in everyday life as well , but in politics they stand out.

Yes. Turn coats are omnipresent. They change their colors often in such a way even the the chameleon also bows its head out of shame.

Ganga gaye to Gangadas and as soon as reached to the bank of Yamuna they transform into Yamunadas. Let me know please.

A classic case is during elections when people go for rallies conducted by all the parties take what is doled out and vote for those who give them the maximum benefit on the day of voting.In villages this is the norm, so much for educated aware voters who make a difference !

Voters are smart. Such voters are needed to teach these turn coats a lesson.

I meant these color changing politicians deserve such smart voters who squeeze the opportunity to grab money as much as possible.

I want to present a view point. Employees can change their jobs for better prospects and nowadays youngsters do it much faster than before. No one accuses them of changing employers. But when politicians change their employers for survival or better prospects, why are they looked down upon. By the way one of the most famous call him whatever you want was Sir Winston Chuchill.

Politicians changing their employers ? Who are these employers ?  The people. People who voted for a politician for his ability to measure up to their expectations. Is it not breach of trust ?. Of course this  is my point of view.

Have you seen people going to another party meeting addressed by another leader just after the completion of the first and shouting in favor of him? It's common scenario during election meetings and kind of fun esp for people with no affiliation with any  party but just for fun and see the celebrities.  It happened when Nagma the congress candidate from our city and other filmi celbs were here on same day and at nearby places. Nagma Lost her deposit despite a big gathering at her meeting venue.

Most of the people who attend meetings addressed by  another leader are hired crowds financed by rival parties. Their duty is to boo the leader on the platform. It happened earlier many times. example is Rajiv Gandhi while addressing a meeting attended by a sea of people. But he lost the elections.

Everyone has freedom to change his political party and believe in a different ideology. It is not a bad thing, provided it does not happen 2-3 times in a week.
