Taking a jibe at the Congress for "locking up MLAs", the BJP leader said, "How can Congress form the government if it does not trust its own MLAs and locks them up?"

Meanwhile, All India Congress Committee (AICC) Secretary Ivan D'Souza came down heavily on BJP alleging "horse-trading" by the party and said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah and other leaders landed in Goa ahead of counting for the state Assembly polls.
