I am a proud Indian with SC taking the matter very seriously and going to the extent of asking why not the Center dismiss the State Government in this scenario. This should have happened decades back, but better late than never. The strikers/party should be made to pay for any inconvenience to the public or any damage to the public and private property - not from the public's tax paid money, but from the individuals/party. The self styled saviour of public exist in all the states - Karunanidhi in TN, Deve Gowda in Karnataka, CPM in WB, Mayavati/Mulayam in UP, Lalu in Bihar, Sharad Pawar in Maharashtra, etc. Whatever happened to Duty, Dignity and Discipline, the mantra that Karunanidhi loves to preach; loves to proclaim that he follows that as the teachings from his mentor Anna. But Karunanidhi has made sure that there is at least one true follower of his ideals - H.D.Deve Gowda. Public is watching everything. Public should stop voting for goondaism based politics. Vote for independents if the party candidates are not good. Also no MLA or MP should be allowed to change parties either alone or by group (how muchever be the size of the group). If anybody wants to change parties, let that person resign, recontest from the new party and new ideology (if at all any party has) and then go back to Assembly/Parliament. This one-third of the group switching loyalties is not done. Good job done by Supreme Court, but lot more needs to be done. Congratulations SC.
