Congress and JD (S) booked 102 rooms in a luxury resort for their MLAs....resorts are doing brisk business in Kanataka elections.....

This is bcoz of the fear of ‘Operation Lotus 2.0’
But why only 102 rooms?
78+37= 115, but 102 room means 13 rooms might have double occupancy.
Probably, 13 MLA are secretly talking with BJP, so they keep one trusted MLA along each of them in the single room.
‘Operation Lotus’ was an infamous strategy started by then BJP chief minister B S
Yeddyurappa to buy over opposition party MLAs with money and power. BJP had poached 20 MLAs from JD(S) and Congress, making them resign their assembly membership and contest bypolls, between 2008 and 2013.
