Switch Parties

In Goa, 8 of 11 Congress MLAs has joined the opposition BJP on September 13. The switch of parties came as a major shock to the Sonia Gandhi-led Congress, which now has only 3 MLAs in Goa. "We have joined BJP to strengthen the hands of PM Modi and CM Pramod Sawant... Congress chhodo, BJP ko jodo," said former Congress leader Michael Lobo, who was amongst those joining the BJP.
