Camp politics is not new, but, unusually, hyderabad is emerging as a new hub of camp politics in the country.
In reality, elected local body leaders and MLAs from undivided andhra pradesh and telangana State were frequently transported to Goa, Bangalore, Mumbai, Ooty, and other destinations to prevent poaching. Now, hyderabad is emerging as a new hub.
Numbers Game
To keep MLAs and others together, parties frequently relocate them to resorts/hotels or move them to neighbouring states. The majority of them are held in resorts outside of the city and isolated from the rest of the world for a few days while being provided with all of the amenities they desire. Power arrangements are often arranged at resorts.
After a long period, hyderabad is experiencing a fresh surge of camp politics from neighboring states such as jharkhand and Bihar.
The JMM-led alliance MLAs were transported to hyderabad after Champai Soren assumed oath as the state's new chief minister following hemant Soren's imprisonment on an ED charge. He was given ten days to show the majority.
In the 81-member jharkhand Assembly, the ruling alliance includes 47 MLAs (JMM 29, congress 17, and RJD 1). The bjp has 26 members, three from AJSI, one from NCP, one from CPI-ML, and two independents. A telangana minister and a congress politician accompanied the MLAs throughout their stay, while police fenced off the resort. To avoid interacting with other visitors, they were given their dining area.
Bihar MLAs
The bihar congress MLAs were escorted to a resort in Kagazghat, ranga reddy district.
All but three congress MLAs from bihar, which lost power last week, travelled to hyderabad over worries of poaching by the BJP-led NDA.
Chief minister and JD (U) leader nitish kumar, dubbed Palturam, performed a somersault by abandoning the congress and switching allegiance to the nda, eventually becoming Chief Minister.
Nitish Kumar elected chief minister for the ninth time in a coalition with the BJP-led NDA.
In the 243 member bihar Assembly, nitish kumar government led nda government presently has 128 MLAs—78 bjp, 45 JD (U), 4 HAM (S) and one independent whereas Mahagathbandhan opposition has 115 MLAs including 79 RJD, 19 congress, 16 Left, one AIMIM.
AICC bihar in charge According to Mohan Prakash, "rumours are being spread that congress MLAs will break away, when the truth is that JD (U) legislators are under pressure due to voters' anger against them, after their party's switch to the NDA."
