This shows how desparate and feared bjp is . They are doing illegal and unconstitutional things now a days. They are spreading rumour that many congress and ohter party MLA and MPs are joining bjp. This is like day time robbery headed by chowkidar. bjp is sure that they will be kicked out by public soon and hence they are trying to mislead common indian by giving wrong informatin. they are trying to divert public attention from main issues of non employment + emptying of Govt money + death of farmer and poors due to powerty + shame in foreign countries etc etc.
