Karnataka Minister Nagendra quits over ST Corporation scam in setback to Congress government
Karnataka Minister B Nagendra announced his resignation amid allegations in an illegal money transfer case involving a state-run corporation. The move is a setback to the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government. He expressed his voluntary decision to resign, citing a fair probe by the SIT and avoiding potential problems during the investigation. The case surfaced after an accounts superintendent's suicide note revealed unauthorised transfers totaling Rs 187 crore.
