Bhopal: Amid the political turmoil in Madhya Pradesh, BJP MLAs would be flown out of Bhopal and possibly out of the state on Tuesday night, party sources said.
With 22 Congress MLAs quitting and plunging the Congress government in the state into a crisis, a meeting of the BJP Legislature Party was held on Tuesday evening.
With the possibility of the Congress, which would be reduced to minority in the Assembly if the resignations of its MLAs are accepted, trying to poach BJP's legislators, the saffron party was taking precautions to keep its flock together, sources added.

Five chartered buses could be seen parked outside the BJP office.
