Herded away in fear!
You people have to check this story. All BJP MLAs from Karnataka suddenly went off to Chennai. Reason? To avoid getting "disturbed". And by who? Congress, they claim. The Vote of Confidence is due on Jan 27th. And BJP are scheming up their first chance to build a government in a southern state. They fear that the Congress may "buy out" some of the BJP MLAs to vote in their favour. And so what did they do? (I am still laughing out loud on this one!) They packed their MLAs away to Chennai. And they would be there in Chennai till 27th. If Dharam Singh resigns earlier, they would return earlier.

420, u r right. it is only recently that i started following a lot more in politics. thanks for enlightening me. probably i would be more careful abt what i write on my blog. :-)
Funny scenes seeing the picnic party being escorted from Chennai airport to a star hotel by a KPN Travels bus. And when one of the media reporters asked where are they heading to, this is what a MLA had to say 'Sorry !! We are not supposed to tell you. It is supposed to be confidence (He meant 'confidential')'.
The next day they were shown taking a morning walk near the beach. Looks like they had enough of Chennai and they decided to move on to Kodaikanal. Whoa !! Whirlwind tour of South India :). The MLAs should be having a whale of a time at the party's cost! In the meantime, the other touring party (Kumarsamay's men) are busy taking a sun bath in the Goan beaches. Ahh..these politics !!!
