Never a dull day in Karnataka. Sources tell us that some of the congress and independent MLAs are holed up in Powai's Renaissance hotel. This includes 5-6 Karnataka MLAs and 2 independent MLAs. Sources also tell us that 2 K'taka MLAs are set to resign and jump the fence. The Karnataka budget session was in for a rough start today morning. Governor Vajubhai Vala was forced to cut short his address to joint session of the assembly amid protest by BJP MLAs in the well of the house. Remember, 6 congress MLAs and 1 JDS MLA and two independent MLAs missed the important budget session despite a whip.
