Last Updated 02 September 2010, 17:17 IST

The legislators, including Belur Gopalakrishna, Abhay Patil, Seema Masuti, had applied for their visas but their applications were rejected, forcing them to drop their plans.

“We had applied for visa only for attending the Kannada convention and it has been rejected without citing any reason. We are happy that at least some of our friends (legislators) got visa,” Gopalakrishna said.

Sources said 32 legislators, including three ministers Renukacharya, Shivanagouda Nayak and P M Narendraswamy, got the visa and they have already left for  the US to attend the convention being held from Sept 3 to 5.

Akka had extended the invitation to a majority of the ruling party legislators. MLC and Kannada Development Authority Chairman Mukyamantri Chandru left on August 30 to take part in the convention.
