Two JD(S) MLAs have disappeared from JD(S) camp just a day ahead of the floor test that would decide the fate of BS Yeddyurappa.

Congress-JD(S) chief ministerial candidate HD Kumaraswamy on Friday accused the BJP of ''hijacking'' two of his MLAs. Two JD(S) MLAs have disappeared from JD(S) camp just a day ahead of the floor test that would decide the fate of BS Yeddyurappa. ''Two MLAs have been hijacked by our BJP friends.

2 JD(S) MLAs 'hijacked' by our BJP friends, says HD Kumaraswamy

<p>The JD(S)'s HD Kumaraswamy alleged Wednesday that his MLAs are being offered Rs 100 crore each to switch sides.&nbsp</p>

<p>He added that he was not making his claim "loosely".&nbsp</p>

<p>"JD(S) MLAs are being offered Rs 100 crore each. Where is this black money coming from? They are supposedly the servers of poor people and they are offering money today. Where are the income tax officials?" Kumaraswamy said.&nbsp</p>

<p>Also read: BJP trying to poach MLAs, claim Karnataka Congress frontrunners</p>

<p>Karnataka, and the rest of the country, is at the moment in the grip of fevered speculation over who will form the next government there.&nbsp</p>

<p>The Karnataka vote, which was counted yesterday, ended with the BJP emerging as the single largest party.&nbsp</p>

<p>The party won 104 seats, the Congress won 78, the JD(S) won 37, its pre-poll ally the BSP won 1, while 2 seats were won by Others.&nbsp</p>

<p>Karnataka has 224 assembly seats but voting was held for 222. (Polling was postponed in two seats.) The halfway mark then is 111, with a party needing 112 seats for a simple majority.&nbsp</p>

<p>The BJP is short by 8 seats, while the JD(S)-Congress combine (including the BSP) has 116 seats.&nbsp</p>

<p>Right after Kumaraswamy made his allegation, he added: "If you try to poach one from ours, we'll do the same and take double from you."&nbsp</p>

<p>"Forget 'Operation Kamal' being successful, there are people who are ready to leave BJP and come with us. If you try to poach one from ours, we'll do the same and take double from you. I'm also telling the Governor to not take any decision which encourages horse-trading," he added.&nbsp</p>
