Gujarat Congress Mlas Poached

Ahead of the June 19 Rajya Sabha polls in Gujarat, the opposition Congress today shifted 17 of its MLAs from a resort in Rajkot to a farmhouse near Gadhada town of Botad district, a party leader said.

After resignation by three MLAs ahead of the June 19 Rajya Sabha polls, the Congress in Gujarat on Saturday shifted several of its legislators to resorts and bungalows near their constituencies to prevent any "poaching" bid, a party leader said.

After an intense election, new Congress lawmakers in Karnataka are in for a paid holiday at a five-star resort. The party, worried about losing its lawmakers in the fierce race for numbers, has decided to move them to the Eagleton Golf Resort near Bengaluru. Their Gujarat counterparts have already savoured its hospitality.

The 43 Congress legislators from Gujarat - whisked away to Bengaluru last month to stem a string of damaging defections just ahead of the crucial Rajya Sabha elections -landed in Ahmedabad airport around 4:30 am today. Lawmakers in Gujarat will vote for three Rajya Sabha seats tomorrow.

Opposition Congress today claimed in Lok Sabha that its MLAs in Gujarat were being offered Rs 15 crore in return of support to the BJP and being pressurised by the ruling party in the state.
