The Congress in Karnataka took its leaders to a resort outside Bengaluru on Friday night in a bid to keep them together.
But state lawmaker Anand Singh was allegedly involved in a brawl with a colleague on Saturday evening at a resort near Bengaluru where the Congress has sequestered 76 lawmakers "to protect them from the BJP". He was hospitalised on Sunday after he was allegedly hit on the head with a bottle by JN Ganesh. Mr Singh's wife has now has threatened to take legal action against Mr Ganesh.
"If it is true that Ganesh beat up my husband, my children and I will not keep quiet and will take legal action against him," Laxmi Singh said.
"We had come here to fight the attempt by BJP to destabilize this government. We are very confident that our government is safe, secure and strong," said Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president Dinesh Gundu Rao said today.
