TIL Desk/National/Bengaluru/ Former Madhya Pradesh chief minister and Congress leader Digvijaya Singh, who landed in Bengaluru on Wednesday, is now under preventive arrest after he sat on a dharna near Ramada Hotel allegedly for not being allowed by police to meet the 21 rebel Congress MLAs lodged in the hotel.
“I am a Rajya Sabha candidate from Madhya Pradesh, voting is scheduled for March 26. My MLAs have been kept here. They want to speak to me, their phones have been snatched, the police is not letting me speak to them saying there is a security threat to MLAs,” Singh told reporters.
Singh was received at the airport by Karnataka Congress president DK Shivakumar. Singh who sat on the dharna with a mask on his face said, “We were expecting them to come back, but when we saw they’re being held back, messages came from their families…I personally spoke to five MLAs. They said they’re captive, (their) phones snatched away, there is police in front of every room. They’re being followed 24X7,” Singh said.
