The Story in Brief
Karnataka Minister B Nagendra on Tuesday dismissed the BJP’s demand for his resignation and its threat to disrupt the Assembly session, saying the Congress government was ready to give a befitting reply on the floor of the House, Deccan Chronicle reports. He said Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had already responded and the entire cabinet would answer the opposition.
Nagendra rejected allegations of fund misappropriation, asserting the money was recovered and the matter is sub judice. He accused the BJP of suppressing Dalits, backward classes and minorities. On his Delhi visits, he said he always obtained permission, including for visits to religious sites like Tirupati and Shirdi. He said he would accept any portfolio assigned by the party leadership.
The Indian Opinion
Both the BJP and Congress are playing familiar political scripts: BJP demands resignation based on allegations that are yet to be proven in court, while Nagendra deflects with charges of minority suppression. The real test will be the Assembly session, can the government produce a substantive defence on the floor, or will disruptions stall debate? Voters should watch if either side offers evidence beyond rhetoric.
