Eight Congress MLAs from Odisha, who are camping in a resort on the outskirts of Bengaluru, visited Mysuru on Saturday.
The MLAs were shifted to Bengaluru ahead of the March 16 Rajya Sabha elections to prevent the BJP from poaching them.
The MLAs, who arrived in Mysuru around 1.30 pm on Saturday in an escort vehicle, were taken to Chamundi Hills where they offered prayers at the Chamundeshwari temple.
They later had lunch at the Government Guest House in Mysuru and proceeded to the Karnataka Silk Industries Corporation showroom and later toured the Mysuru Palace. Guides from the Palace Council took visitors through the palace.
Before ending their journey to Mysuru, the visitors were taken to Krishnaraja Sagar. They returned to the resort after going around Brindavan Gardens.
Congress leaders from Mysuru, including Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee spokesperson M. Lakshman and Mysuru District Congress Committee president BJ Vijaykumar, accompanied the visiting MLAs.
