The era of the defectors
Ajit Pawar became deputy chief minister, and a handful of MLAs who defected with him were given ministerial posts. The venal move is presumably aimed at foiling opposition unity.

British MPs will on Monday vote on an inquiry report by a UK Parliamentary committee that revealed former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has deliberately misled the House of Commons over breaches during the Covid-19 lockdown.
Johnson said that he was "bewildered and appalled" after receiving a letter from the from a House of Commons committee.
The new Conservative Party leader Rishi Sunak officially become the British prime minister following his meeting with King Charles III, where he was asked to form the next government.
Sunak had thanked supporters who backed him in the Conservative Party race and said now it was time for all of them to unite behind the new UK Prime Minister Liz Truss.
If Mr Johnson loses a confidence vote, it will lead to a contest to replace him as Conservative leader. The winner would also become Prime Minister. If Mr Johnson wins, he will be safe for a year.
Derision and criticism have poured in from all quarters, as the official Covid toll stands at over 1,50,000 deaths in the UK, and the poorly worded defence by Boris Johnsons secretary, we thought it would be nice to make the most of the lovely weather, has only added to the insensitivity of entitlement, disdain, and revelry, as displayed by 10 Downing Street
The Treasury chief, Rishi Sunak, a potential rival for the PM’s office, tweeted, ”I stand behind the PM hundred per cent as he takes our country forward. The PM was right to apologise and I do support his request for patience while Sue Gray, a public service veteran with a reputation as a straight-shooter, carries out her enquiry.”
The India-UK bilateral trade relationship is part of ‘Roadmap 2030' announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his British counterpart Johnson in May 2021.
In a word Mr Johnson will have to countenance a major test of his leadership, showcased by the firm opposition by 100 Tory MPs to Covid regulations, followed by an electoral defeat.
