Congress Alleges Political Coup Bid In Rajasthan, Moves MLAs To Resort | Read

The Congress, busy protecting its flock in Gujarat ahead of the Rajya Sabha elections, alleges that attempts are now being made to topple its government in Rajasthan through "money power". In Rajya Sabha polls due on June 19, three seats in Rajasthan are up for election. Sources said the party has moved all its MLAs to Shiv Vilas, a resort on the Delhi-Jaipur highway. In March, the Congress government in Madhya Pradesh collapsed after 22 MLAs defected to the BJP. In July last year, the party similarly lost power to the BJP in Karnataka, the state it was ruling in alliance with HD Kumaraswamy, after multiple exits. Currently Rajasthan is also hosting a group of Congress MLAs from Gujarat, brought allegedly to keep them out of the BJP's reach.
