A special feature of Indian politics is the ease with which turncoats often talk politics. Those who were spokespersons of a particular political party till yesterday will preach the exact opposite on a fine morning, speaking on behalf of a rival party. The public does not seem very uncomfortable with this shift, though it plainly insults their intelligence.
Perhaps, these moments directly epitomise the ethical level of Indian politics. In the eve of the present Assembly elections, there were a large number of defectors across the board. In states like West Bengal, the very contest is founded upon the pre-election repudiations and tactical affiliations. Now, we have to wait for the post-election scenes that can tell us much more on the fine art of floor crossing.
