politial VIPs crossovers

 Why  do the print and electronic media give so much of coverage to Mrs. Kushbu's  exit from the congress and entry into BJP  as if no other politician  has done so  in the recent past?The Congress has lost quite a number of loyal members who have occupied eminent positions for decades together in the recent years. These  politicians go into the BJP despite their core political values which they had been following so far,  for one reason only. Today, Congress is facing leadership vacuum and has lost touch with ground realities and living in a semi coma stage . Naturally the political class is  entering into greener pastures, since they  have their own ambitions and set goals and may fulfill them soon. Till yesterday Mrs. Kushbu  was very articulate in criticising  the policies and many prgrammes of  the BJP and even the PM. Today in interviews the way she talks is not surprising . But why the media is wasting so much and space to cover these matters? Who is really interested to know why and how they do these  crossovers? Ordinary citizens have multiple issues related to their lives to worry about   especially when, the corona pandemic has crippled the world .
