As exit polls predict a Congress edge in the recently concluded Telangana Assembly elections, the party high command is considering shifting its MLAs to Bengaluru or another city after results are declared on December 3. This contingency plan aims to prevent poaching if Congress falls just short of a majority in a tight contest. Telangana Congress president Revanth Reddy remains confident Congress will secure a two-thirds majority win, but the central leadership wants to take no chances. Coordinators have been deployed to escort winning candidates to undisclosed spots initially, before likely transporting legislators together to Karnataka under the watch of Congress leader DK Shivakumar, known for successfully managing similar situations.
