Amid the political turmoil triggered by charges of horse trading flung at each other by the ruling coalition and the BJP, Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy Wednesday said things were "under control" and there was no reason for worry.
Ruling out any "operation" by the ruling alliance to poach the BJP MLAs, the Chief Minister said there was no necessity for it and that he was "relaxed."
Clarifying that his party MLAs were not being shifted to any resort, as being speculated in the media, the Chief Minister said, "We are not going to shift anyone to any resort, there is no need for it."
Reiterating that the five Congress MLAs, who are in Mumbai, allegedly under BJP's control, were in touch, Kumaraswamy said, "I have been saying for the past three days that they are in touch with me, I'm in know of all the developments."
Asked about MLAs staying in Mumbai, he said, ".. will talk to you in the evening."
