Bengaluru (Karnataka), Jan. 18 -- Three Karnataka Congress MLAs on Friday abstained from a meeting of the Legislature Party meeting which decided to move rest of the 76 legislators to a resort to prevent poaching.
The meeting was convened by the party to assess whether its flock was intact amid speculation that some of the MLAs had switched over to the BJP.
The party, which had threatened to invoke anti-defection law against those absenting themselves, decided to issue show cause notices to those who did not make to the meeting.
Congress leader Siddaramaiah, who chaired the CLP meeting said: "76 MLAs were present physically out of the 79. I will send notice to absentees and seek an explanation. Then I will speak to the high command."
