Yeddyurappa calls back all party MLAs staying in Gurugram

January 19, 2019 08:14

Bharatiya Janata Party Karnataka president B S Yeddyurappa has called back all party MLAs who were staying in Gurugram allegedly to avoid 'poaching' attempts by the ruling Congress-Janata Dal (Secular) alliance.

The development comes as the Congress shifted all but four of its MLAs to a resort near Bengaluru after four MLAs gave the party's CLP meet a skip on Friday.

A state senior Congress leader said since it was suspected that eight party MLAs had 'committed' to the BJP and might jump ship, the legislators were being shifted to a resort.

As the CLP was underway, Yeddyurappa said several legislators appeared to be attending the meet out of compulsion.

"Let them indulge in squabbles....we have nothing to do with it."

He said the ruling coalition was claiming the support of some BJP MLAs and it was because of this that the party had decided they should stay together in a hotel in Gurugram. -- ANI, PTI
