In an overnight operation, Congress decided to fly 44 of its Gujarat MLAs from Ahmedabad to Bangalore to keep them from being “poached” by the BJP ahead of the August 8 Rajya Sabha polls in that state. On Friday night 38 of the party MLAs flew out from Ahmadabad to Bangalore and are now staying at Eagalton Resort in Ramnagar district, 40 kms from Bangalore city.
