BJP and its ally JD(S) laid siege to Karnataka Assembly on Aug 24, demanding the resignation of Planning and Statistics Minister B Nagendra over his alleged involvement in the Rs 187 crore Karnataka Dalit Valmiki Corporation scam. The opposition accused the Congress government of shielding Nagendra and claimed that the funds were diverted to finance Congress election campaigns in Karnataka and Telangana. BJP leaders, including LoP R Ashoka, staged protests and were met with heavy police presence, leading to scuffles outside the Vidhana Soudha. The BJP has compiled details of 35 cases against Nagendra and demanded his removal for upholding constitutional values and protecting the interests of Scheduled Tribes.
