MLAs holed up at Golden Palms Play Rummy Card Game

The BJP MLAs are making the most of the time that they are spending at the Golden Palms Resport and Spa of filmmaker Sanjay Khan. Not only they are eating, drinking but they say their favorite time pass is playing rummy card game.

No wonder rummy card game is one of the favorite card game whether it is the common Indian or ministers of India. The high court is hearing the case about the disqualification of 11 BJP MLAs and meanwhile the MLAs are enjoying the old Mysore legislators' favourite dishes, which include naati koli saaru (country chicken gravy), boti (diced pieces of mutton) and tale maamsa (head meat curry) along with mudde (ragi ball) at the resort.
These legislators were earlier put up at Eagleton Golf Village on Mysore Road. As BJP supporters kept following the group to lure rebel MLAs back into their camp, they were moved three days ago to Golden Palms, said to be a "safer'' location against horse-traders. Of the over 100-odd rooms at the five-star resort, more than 30 double-bed rooms are now occupied by the netas.

Security guards maintain close vigil, monitoring every entry and exit while at least two second-rung leaders from the JD(S) stand guard for each legislator. Former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy's confidant N V Prasad alias Kabbadi Babu has been given the responsibility of keeping the flock of legislators "safe and sound''.

On Wednesday, the legislators were seen relaxing, though tension was palpable in the air. While a group of MLAs, inclduing some former ministers in Yeddyurappa's cabinet, indulged in their favourite pastime of playing cards, others took dips in the pool and walked through the green environs of the resort. "Our favourite pastime here is playing cards, especially rummy and Jackpot, which is everyone's favourite game -- and I must tell you many hate losing though they are bound to lose about Rs 10,000 per game,'' said a senior MLA.
