Following the reports, the MLA from north Gujarat constituencies arrived in their personal vehicles and were taken to the Wildwinds resort in Rajasthan
MUMBAI| Gujarat Congress party has shifted at least 21 of its MLA to Rajasthan. As the Rajya Sabha election is just around the corner, the 21 MLA is a shift to the private resorts in Rajasthan after three of its MLA resigned from the state assembly.
Following the reports, the MLA from north Gujarat constituencies arrived in their personal vehicles and were taken to the Wildwinds resort on Abu Road near the Ambaji temple in Rajasthan. They are said to be there for at least 3 to 4 days.
The reason the action was committed because of three MLA’s Brijesh Merja, Akshay Patel and Jitu Chaudhary quitting from their posts, thus affecting the chances of Congress winning the Rajya Sabha seat.
The state assembly has 182 seats, out of which 103 are occupied by the BJP while the congress now has 65. To win Rajya Sabha seat, a candidate will require 37 votes. After the fresh resignations, it will be tough for Congress to win more than one seat. The elections for Rajya Sabha are slatted for June 19.
