Karnataka Minister Nagendra, facing allegations in illegal money transfer case, to resign: Deputy CM

New Indian Express  

BENGALURU: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Thursday said Minister B Nagendra has offered to resign, following allegations against him in connection with an illegal money transfer case, and indicated that he may quit the Siddaramaiah Cabinet later in the day. Seeking to mount pressure on the Congress government, the opposition BJP staged a protest march from 'Vidhana Soudha' to Raj Bhavan and petitioned Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot demanding the Scheduled Tribes Welfare Minister's resignation over what it called a "big corruption scam". "The Chief Minister after discussing with the Congress high command, will take a call," he said. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah earlier today said he will take a decision on seeking resignation of Nagendra, after talking to the Special Investigation Team formed to probe the multi-crore scam, and discussing with senior Cabinet colleagues.
