Karnataka minister B Nagendra dismisses resignation reports over scam allegations: ‘Completely untrue’

Karnataka minister B Nagendra has refuted reports claiming he had offered to resign due to alleged involvement in a multi-crore-rupee embezzlement case related to the Karnataka Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation (KMVSTDC), stating that no discussions about resignation had taken place. The rumors suggested Nagendra had informed chief minister DK Shivakumar that he didn't want to embarrass the party leadership and intended to resign voluntarily by Wednesday evening.

However, Nagendra's office issued a statement dismissing all such claims as "completely untrue" and requested cooperation from the public.
