There is no place for ethics, commitment, loyalty and values in politics. All that one finds is pure selfishness among the politicians of these days.
What is surprising is that even those at the fag end of their political career are also giving up their moral values and are ready to jump the fence to join profitable parties.
Take for instance, veteran Congress leader Gade Venkat Reddy. He had served the party for several decades, holding several important posts and positions. He was considered to be a man of integrity.
After the bifurcation, Gade virtually remained in political oblivion. But, now, he is also ready to join the ruling Telugu Desam Party in Andhra Pradesh to secure his political future.
The old man from Prakasam district is learnt to have sent feelers to TDP president and Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu that he would join the party, if given an opportunity. And Naidu reportedly gave him the green signal.
What is surprising is that even before he got the opportunity to join the TDP, Gade has begun attacking the YSR Congress party leaders for making hue and cry over alleged land scam in the Amaravati area.
He said there was absolutely no truth in the allegations that the TDP leaders had purchased huge extent of lands in the capital region, after getting the information that it was going to be the future capital.
Well. Gade has proved he is no exception in the murky politics!
