Karnataka Minister B Nagendra steps down following Valmiki scam row, seen crying
Karnataka Minister B Nagendra became emotional on camera as he declared his resignation for the second time, following graft accusations involving the ₹89-crore Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation. He previously stepped down in June 2024 before being brought back into the cabinet on August 3. The controversy emerged after a corporation official took his own life in 2024, leaving behind a suicide note that pointed to corruption.
