For Jharkhand's Ruling Coalition MLAs, At Resort, Special Phones: Sources

MLAs of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and Congress arrived yesterday at the Mayfair Hotel in Raipur.

Jharkhand's ruling coalition has sequestered its MLAs at a resort in Congress-ruled Chhattisgarh, accusing the BJP of trying to poach the lawmakers in an attempt to bring down the crisis-hit Hemant Soren government.

MLAs of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and Congress arrived yesterday at the Mayfair Hotel in Raipur, which has established itself as the ideal hideout when any Congress government has wobbled.

Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel visited the resort and had dinner with the MLAs.

Recently, the Congress put up its MLAs from Assam and Haryana at this resort to prevent defections during the Rajya Sabha election.
