Amid political crisis in Rajasthan, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has moved several of its MLAs to Gujarat, fearing poaching by the Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government, IANS reported.
According to IANS, around a 18-20 MLAs from Jalore, Sirohi and Udaipur divisions were shifted on Friday night to a resort in Ahmedabad whereas another group of six MLAs went to Porbandar by a chartered flight.
Speaking to IANS, Rajasthan BJP chief Satish Poonia said that the BJP MLAs are being lured by the Congress, saying that the party is “misusing” government machinery in Rajasthan for “selfish ends”.
“Many officials have visited our MLAs in the tribal belt and tried to influence them through immoral ways. Our MLAs were depressed and tense and hence we planned an excursion trip for them,” he said.
