Rebel Madhya Pradesh Congress MLAs encamped at a five-star hotel in Bengaluru have released videos saying they had been "trying to talk (to senior party leaders for one year" but did not wish to anymore. The MLAs, whose resignations last week have left the state's Congress government near collapse, countered party claims they had been abducted and forced to resign, saying they had chosen to leave the party of their own will and were not interested in talking with their former colleagues.
