Karnataka Minister B Nagendra Resigns Amid Rs 89.63 Crore Fund Diversion Allegations

Karnataka minister B Nagendra submitted his resignation on Friday following allegations of financial misconduct linked to the Valmiki Corporation scam. The controversy centers on the alleged diversion of Rs 89.63 crore in corporation funds. Nagendra, who had only recently been re-inducted into the state cabinet earlier this month, claimed the charges against him were part of a conspiracy targeting him due to his tribal background. Opposition parties had been mounting pressure on him to step down over the issue.
