Fresh trouble is brewing for Kamal Nath's Congress government in Madhya Pradesh as 8 of its MLAs were found at a luxury hotel in Gurugram on Tuesday midnight while Congress ministers said BJP is trying to topple the government by poaching its MLAs.

Congress leader and state finance minister Tarun Bhanot alleged that eight MLAs were being held by the BJP at the Gurugram hotel.

He told India Today TV that Congress ministers were not being allowed to meet the eight MLAs -- four of whom are from the Congress, two from the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), one from Samajwadi Party (SP) and one Independent. Tarun Bhanot also alleged the BJP was holding them in the hotel with the help of Haryana Police.

Around 2 am, Congress leader Digvijaya Singh's son Jaivardhan Singh said the Congress was able to get six of its MLAs out of the hotel and the party was in touch with the rest. Jaivardhan Singh said BJP leader Narottam Mishra was also seen outside the hotel.

Early on Wednesday morning Digvijaya Singh said, "When we got to know, Jitu Patwari and Jaivardhan Singh went there. People with whom our contact was established were ready to come back to us. We were able to get in touch with Bisahulal Singh and Ramabai. Ramabai came back even when BJP tried to stop her."

"Senior BJP leaders including former chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, former ministers Narottam Mishra, Bhupendra Singh and Rampal Singh among others have forcibly taken eight MLAs to a hotel in Haryana as part of a conspiracy," Jitu Patwari told PTI.

"The MLAs told us that they were forcibly confined by the BJP leaders," Madhya Pradesh Higher Education Minister Jitu Patwari alleged.

A video showed Congress leaders Jitu Patwari and Jaivardhan Singh leaving the ITC hotel in Gurguram. In the video, they were taking suspended BSP MLA Ramabai Parihar along with them. She was suspended by party chief Mayawati in December.

"Things are under control. We will hold a press conference tomorrow," Jitu Patwari said after leaving the hotel.

Speaking to India Today TV over the situation, Digvijaya Singh blamed the BJP for trying to topple the Madhya Pradesh government.

He said the BJP is trying to buy MLAs and offering them Rs 5-10 crore to join the party. However, he added saying that there is no threat to the Congress government and it is absolutely safe.

Earlier on Tuesday, Kamal Nath asserted that there was no threat to his government. "The legislators are telling me that they are being offered so much money. I am telling the MLAs to take it, if they are getting this free money," the MP CM said.
