Bengaluru, Jul 31: BJP president Amit Shah had reportedly offered Rs 10 crore each to the Congress MLAs in Gujarat to switch their loyalty to the saffron party. 
This shocking revelation was made by Senior Congress leader B K Hariprasad, who said that the horse trading attempts of BJP forced the Congress to bring its 40 MLAs from Gujarat to Karnataka to keep them safe.
“Three of our MLAs stayed back in Gujarat due to unavoidable circumstances,” the Congress leader told reporters on the sidelines of an event at Palace Grounds in Bengaluru. Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s political secretary Ahmed Patel is contesting the Rajya Sabha elections from Gujarat.
“He is an influential leader, but Shah’s hidden agenda is to ensure the minorities don’t win,” Hariprasad said.
“The BJP used corrupt ways to win the Rajya Sabha elections in Jharkhand and Haryana as well.”
Hariprasad refuted reports that the Congress MLAs from Gujarat were kept under house arrest here. “I’m in touch with them. They’re all happy,” he said.
Bengaluru, Feb 14: After the swearing-in of ten former JDS and Congress MLAs, political boundaries seem to have become more fluid, with little clarity on who is on whose side. When Honnali BJP MLA Renukacharya visited senior Congressman DK Shivakumar at the latter’s residence, many eyebrows were raised over the reason behind the meeting. There was speculation over why Renukacharya would be meeting a man who is, in all likelihood, slated to be the next KPCC president.
