As per news report of NDTV, At least eight of the 11 Congress MLAs need to switch for the BJP's plan to succeed. Sources say that plan is on track and former Chief Minister Digambar Kamat is in touch with the BJP to make it happen. Congress sources claim the BJP had a chartered flight ready to move six of its MLAs out of Goa. A top BJP leader was personally in touch with the MLAs, who were offered ₹ 15 crore to ₹ 20 crore each to switch, sources said. The plan was reportedly aborted when the number of MLAs fell short. Digambar Kamat, accused by the Congress of trying to engineer a rebellion, significantly skipped a meeting called by senior party leaders Mukul Wasnik and Dinesh Gundu Rao last evening. The other 10 Congress MLAs attended it.
