New Delhi, Mar 19 (IBNS) As the Congress faces a crisis of its Government in Uttarakhand, 28 BJP MLAs and ten Congress legislators arrived in Delhi on Friday night to meet the top brass of the BJP on Saturday, reports said.

The 10 Congress rebels include former chief minister Vijay Bahuguna, Harak Singh Rawat, Pradeep Batra, Shailendra Singhal, Umesh Chandra Kau, Subodh Uniyal, Shaila Rani Rawat, Amrita Rawat and Kunwar Pranav.

A three-member BJP delegation  met Governor KK Paul on Friday and said the Harish Rawat government was in a minority and demanded its dismissal.

BJP MLA Ajay Bhatt, the Leader of Opposition in the Uttarakhand Assembly, was also a part of the delegation. The Governor told them that action would be taken after gathering sufficient details.

Meanwhile,  Uttarakhand Chief Minister claimed he had "full majority" and warned of disciplinary action against the rebels.

Rawat said the party will find out who the rebel Congress MLAs are and "so far, only one face has come to the fore."
