Some of them had rebelled after being left out and nearly 5 of them had been camping in Mumbai giving the coalition the jitters.
Bengaluru, Jan 17: Another misadventure by the Karnataka has come to an end, with some rebels in the Congress returning to their fold. It began with the fiasco of trying to install a government after the 2018 assembly elections, which was short lived.
