BJP questions B. Nagendra’s reinduction into Cabinet
BJP has sought an explanation on the need to make Nagendra a Minister despite allegations of misappropriation of funds against him
The BJP in Mysuru has questioned the reinduction of B. Nagendra into the State Cabinet, seeking an explanation from Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and the Congress high command. The party is concerned about allegations against Nagendra related to the alleged misappropriation of funds meant for the welfare of Scheduled Tribes. Nagendra was earlier dropped from the Ministry due to these allegations but has since been reinstated.
BJP city president L. Nagendra questioned whether the Congress was under pressure to bring Nagendra back into the Cabinet, stating that the people of the State want to know the reason behind the decision. The BJP party's leaders, including T.S. Srivatsa, M. Mohan, and Subbanna, also raised concerns about the inclusion of Nagendra while several senior Congress MLAs were denied Cabinet berths.
The BJP demanded a clear explanation from the Congress party regarding Nagendra's reinduction and warned of protests if he is not removed from the Cabinet. The JD(S) has also joined the protest, and the BJP threatened to stage demonstrations until Nagendra is removed from the Ministry.
