As four Congress MLAs in Gujarat tendered their resignations, the party on Sunday evening shifted 37 of its MLAs to a resort in Jaipur to prevent any more resignations. In a big jolt to Congress, at least four party MLAs in Gujarat tendered their resignations ahead of the Rajya Sabha elections, sources quoted by Zee News have claimed. The development comes within a week after 22 Congress MLAs resigned in Madhya Pradesh, bringing the Kamak Nath-led government to the brink of collapse. However, to win the third seat, BJP will require the support of five Congress MLAs. It is hoping that some Congress MLAs will vote for it.
