Dalit Targeted: Karnataka Minister Defends Against Resignation Demands

Karnataka Minister B Nagendra claims resignation demands are due to his Dalit identity and Congress affiliation. He counters allegations with data, spotlighting crimes among central ministers. Nagendra demands fair judiciary processes, asserting his innocence, with the backing of CM DK Shivakumar, amid political protests.

Karnataka's Minister B Nagendra has rejected calls for his resignation, attributing them to his status as a Dalit and a member of the Congress party. He highlighted alleged crimes among central ministers, questioning why their resignations aren't demanded.
