BJP to raise induction of B. Nagendra in the Cabinet, suspension of social security pension in the session, says BJP MLA
Shivamogga BJP MLA S.N. Channabasappa has announced the party's opposition to the induction of B. Nagendra into the Cabinet. Nagendra is under scrutiny for alleged misuse of funds at the Karnataka Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation. Channabasappa emphasized that the Congress and the Chief Minister, D.K. Shivakumar, made a grave mistake by inducting Nagendra.
He criticized Shivakumar for dismissing the allegations without proper evidence. The BJP leader also plans to raise the issue of suspended social security pensions for the elderly, widows, and persons with disabilities, citing delays in updating beneficiary lists. Over 6,000 people in his constituency have been affected by the pension delays.
Channabasappa questioned how beneficiaries could survive without their pensions for six months and demanded that the government pay the arrears.
