Rajasthan: After Congress, BJP shifts MLAs to Jaipur hotel ahead of RS polls
Jaipur/IBNS: After the ruling Congress party in Rajasthan shifted their legislators to a hotel ahead of the Rajya Sabha polls on June 19, the opposition Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) has followed the suit.
On Tuesday, the BJP sent all its legislators to another luxury hotel near Sanganer, on the outskirts of Jaipur.
The BJP MLAs initially gathered at the party’s state headquarters here for a legislature party meeting, after which they were taken to a hotel on Tonk Road in buses.
According to reports, they were taken to the hotel for attending a “training programme” on voting and legislative issues.
However, BJP State president Satish Poonia told media that the schedule for the legislature party meeting and stay at the hotel were decided much in advance.
"All of us will be staying in the hotel for two days to understand the legislative subjects related to Rajya Sabha. Our stay will involve training and monitoring of progress,” he was quoted as saying by The Hindu.
Poonia has also alleged that the Congress had forcibly kept Independent legislators at its camp.
“They are levelling false allegations of horse-trading against us without any evidence,” he said.
