Bengaluru: Four Madhya Pradesh MLAs, three from Congress and an independent, have arrived in the city, said a source in the Congress on Thursday.

“As per information we received, three Congress MLAs and one independent came to Bengaluru on Tuesday night or early Wednesday and are staying at a villa in Whitefield in the city’s southeast suburb,” the source told IANS.

Claiming that only Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) people have access to the the four MLAs, the source said the party’s state unit did not have their names yet.

The Congress source said the MP lawmakers want to join the BJP.

“I have no idea if any MLAs went to Chikmagalur,” added the source.

Trouble brewed for Kamal Nath government in Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday mid-night when eight of his MLAs were found at a luxury hotel in Gurugram. It was allegedd that the BJP was fishing the MLAs out of the Congress government that was formed with the support of a few independent MLAs and MLAs from other parties.
