BJP leaders stage protest, demand Nagendra’s resignation
On Monday, leaders and workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) commenced an indefinite protest at the Deputy Commissioner’s office premises in Shivamogga. The BJP district unit initiated the demonstration in response to a directive from the State president, N.K. Jagadish. In his address, Jagadish accused former Minister B. Nagendra of misappropriating funds at the Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation during his previous tenure under the Siddaramaiah-led government.
He alleged that a death occurred due to the misuse of these funds. The district president also questioned whether Nagendra secured his position in the Cabinet by exerting pressure on the Congress high command. Protesters at the scene shouted slogans demanding Nagendra’s resignation, with party leaders Dattatri S., Harikrishna, and Jyothi Prakash among the demonstrators.
