The rebel MLAs had resigned from Karnataka legislative assembly on Saturday, a day after they crossvoted in favour of the Congress candidates in the March 23 Rajya Sabha biennial election in the state.
The legislators said they will join Congress on Sunday in Mysuru in presence of party President Rahul Gandhi, who is currently on a two-day visit to the state.
"BJP resorted to horse-trading activities to ensure BSP candidate loses in Rajya Sabha polls. It misused the state machinery," Mayawati said at a press conference here.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath slammed SP-BSP and said that their 'opportunistic' faces are again out for people of Uttar Pradesh to see.
All four Trinamool candidates -- sitting Rajya Sabha member Nadimul Haque and first time nominees Subhasish Chakraborty, Abir Biswas and Santanu Sen -- emerged victorious in the vote count.
