BJP trying to be extra cautious

July 18, 2019 08:24 am | Updated 08:24 am IST - Bengaluru

The Bharatiya Janata Party has decided to be extra cautious during the trust vote to be sought by Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy on Thursday, though the party is buoyant over the Supreme Court’s judgment on the resignations of rebels and petitions seeking their disqualification.

According to sources, BJP State president B.S. Yeddyurappa has advised the party MLAs not to get provoked during the trust vote and not indulge in any protests or unruly behaviour inside the House. He cautioned that such a behaviour could attract disciplinary action, which would prevent members from participating in the trust vote.

The party is also learnt to be extra careful about rebels to ensure that they do not return from Mumbai to their respective partyfold. Amid all these, the party is also learnt to be focussing on flock-keeping of its MLAs who are camping in a resort on the outskirts of Bengaluru to prevent any poaching by the the governing coalition.
