Sources said that Congress MLAs are expected to return to Bihar on the day of floor test only.The move to Hyderabad is being viewed as a precautionary step to prevent any poaching of MLA by ruling alliance in the state.Meanwhile, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary said that Congress was free to take its MLAs to Delhi or Hyderabad. He said that on the other hand, his party believed that democracy worked with the blessings of the people.On the other hand, deputy chief minister and senior BJP leader Vijay Kumar Sinha accused Congress of insulting its MLAs by not trusting them and intimidating them.
