“According to the Supreme Court directive, we will reach Bengaluru and meet the honourable speaker. Since the Apex court has directed us to tender resignations afresh, we are going there. There is no change (in our decision),” BA Basavaraja, Congress MLA from KR Puram in Bengaluru told reporters in Mumbai.
He rubbished allegations that the saffron party was behind the spate of resignations that threatened the existence of the coalition government and that the BJP-led government in Maharashtra was aiding them.
“Allegations have been made that the BJP government in Maharashtra is with us. We want to clarify that neither the BJP nor any other government is with us. But we have sought protection from the government, which they have provided. There is no BJP role in it,” Basavaraja said.
Yashwantpur Congress MLA S T Somashekhar echoed similar views in Bengaluru.
