"Totally Demoralised", Say BJP Workers As 10 Goa Congress Lawmakers Join | Read

While the BJP has dramatically increased its strength in the 40-member Goa Assembly from 17 to 27 after 10 Congress lawmakers switched sides earlier this week, not all workers of the ruling party are happy about the move and have questioned the leadership. Some of them say they are "demoralised". "I am totally demoralised and I don't like the idea of their induction into the BJP and the cabinet, which they are doing for petty gains," said Sumant Joglekar, a worker of the BJP's ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Mr Joglekar's father was one of the founders of the RSS in Goa, and he has helped to build the BJP in Goa.
