"Most Will Return": DK Shivakumar Says In Touch With Rebel Congress MLAs

Congress's troubleshooter in Karnataka, DK Shivakumar, told NDTV on Tuesday that he is in touch with the rebel MLAs from Madhya Pradesh who are in Bengaluru, and that most of them will return to the party. "19 MLAs are under 'police custody' in Karnataka," he told NDTV. Resignation letters the 21 MLAs -- said to loyalists of former Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia -- have brought the Kamal Nath government to the brink of collapse. Another Congress leader claimed the MLAs were misled by Mr Scindia and are in touch with Chief Minister Kamal Nath.
