Congress has hurriedly sent a special team to Hyderabad to save its MLAs from being poached after exit polls showed a clear possibility of the party winning more seats than the ruling BRS in the Telangana polls.
Exit polls had suggested a tight race in Telangana, with Congress getting a slender lead over BRS.
The special team includes Karnataka Deputy CM Shivakumar, known as the party’s crisis manager. The others are his cabinet colleagues Zameer Ahmed Khan, B Nagendra, and NS Boseraju.
Shivakumar said that there was information about BRS attempting to contact their MLAs.
