Fearing poaching by JDS-Congress, BJP to move its 102 Karnataka MLAs to Gurugram resort

The BJP has now decided to move its 102 Karnataka MLAs to a Gurugram resort
to keep its flock intact. Earlier in the day, BJP's Karnataka unit chief BS Yeddurappa said some of his party's MLAs were going to Gurugram. "They will stay there for a few days. It's their will. We're not scared that they will cross over," Yeddurappa said.

Meanwhile, Karnataka Congress chief Dinesh Gundu Rao told India Today in an exclusive interview that "4 to 5" BJP MLAs were "in touch" and were "keen" to join his party. Karnataka Home Minister MB Patil also told India Today that BJP MLAs would "join us if need be as they are not happy in BJP". He also said the Congress's MLAs in Mumbai were "in touch with me... they will come back in a day or two".
