Speaking on the issue, Congress leader Digvijaya Singh accused the BJP of buying the MLAs and forcing them to go to Bengaluru. Singh said, "BJP chartered two planes yesterday night to bring them (MLAs) to Bengaluru. Three MLAs are from Congress. They snatched their phones and took them deceitfully. MLAs were forced to go. Narottam Mishra and other anti-social elements took them forcefully and pushed them inside the plane and took them away."  

"I do not talk without facts. The information I got was that they will give five crores as the first installment, then the second installment and third installment after the government falls. We have evidence of it. I have spoken to (Jyotiraditya) Scindia. I, Kamal Nath and Scindia are standing together. We are not at all in danger," he added.
