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

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.

Why 2-3 times a week ? Why not every hour ?

I feel that once voted to power under a certain party an MP or an MLA should not be allowed to change his affiliation mid way.If he or she is dissatisfied, he or she should resign which is what any other employee would do..And in politics , there are other people and their trust vote needs to be considered..

There are lot of "Jumping Jacks " in the  political parties. There is a move to stop this immoral act if A MP or MLA of a party joins another party without resigning.

Of course time is an important factor.  Quitting a party during midway of an elected term is a kind of cheating the people who have elected him and entrusted him with some great responsibilities.

It certainly does and once they realise that their action would not go down well with the masses who have voted them to power, they may become responsible in choosing an ideological party rather than make an opportunistic move to further their self interests ..

Breach of trust.. Back stabbers of Democracy.

In my views that is the limit of opportunism and no political party is willing to change the trend. They all keep trying getting support of other parties' members either directly or indirectly. The parties go to any extent for getting support even from parties/members which have no similar ideologies (although ideology is an odd word while talking about Indian politicians) 

Exactly. The very name of the thread says all about Changing colors in par with the trends. Opportunism is the staple food of a politician. They look towards.those political parties which are in power or likely to come into power. That very moment these migrating  Birds in to those parties shedding away both shame and their respective party's dress. A shameless lot indeed. And this has become a trend in the newly formed Telugu states in AP.
