The Rajasthan BJP has asked its MLAs to report to the party office in Jaipur, from where they would be taken to a resort outside the state capital, sources have said. The BJP's decision to keep its flock huddled into a resort comes after a similar move by the Congress ahead of the Rajya Sabha elections on June 10 over poaching fears.
The BJP has told its MLAs it is taking them for a "training programme" to the resort, sources have told NDTV.
BJP leaders Narendra Singh Tomar and Arun Singh are in Jaipur to oversee the party's battle formation for the Rajya Sabha elections.
The Congress has managed to get former Bahujan Samaj Party, or BSP, MLAs together. Of the six BSP MLAs who had merged with the Congress, taking the party's strength to 108, four had decided not to join the resort in Udaipur where Congress MLAs are kept. Later, after a meeting with Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, the four agreed to come on board.
