Congress MLAs will likely be moved to Eagleton Resort in Karnataka

Exposing chinks in the ruling coalition in Karnataka, four dissidents on Friday skipped the Congress Legislature Party meeting here that was called as a show of strength against an alleged bid by the BJP to dislodge the HD Kumaraswamy government.

The absence of four lawmakers posed no imminent threat to the seven-month old Congress-JDS government in the numbers game but suggested that all was not well within the Congress which is still wrestling with dissidence.
