Karnataka Legislature Disrupted Over Opposition Demand for Minister Nagendra's Resignation
The Karnataka Legislature faced a multi-day stalemate as the Opposition BJP and JD(S) demanded the resignation of Minister B. Nagendra over allegations of embezzlement in the Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation. The ruling Congress defended Nagendra, citing his bail and lack of conviction, and criticized the Opposition for disrupting proceedings. Nagendra denied wrongdoing, alleging political targeting due to his Dalit identity. The Speaker urged formal debate requests, while drought and other state issues awaited discussion amid ongoing protests.
