The West Bengal unit of the BJP put up all its MLAs in a five-star hotel and arranged luxury buses to drive them to the State Assembly for voting in the Presidential elections on Monday.
About 70 MLAs were put up in a hotel in the New Town area of the city, where they spent Sunday night. On Monday morning, the MLAs arrived at the West Bengal Legislative Assembly in two luxury buses and queued up to cast their votes. The MLAs also wore yellow scarves with tribal motifs around their necks as they exercised their franchise for the election to the highest office in the country.
While the BJP legislators said that there was nothing wrong with all the MLAs going together to cast their vote, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) leadership took a dig at the development and said that it was an attempt by the BJP to keep its flock together.
