Priyank Kharge Challenges BJP to Assembly Debate Over Valmiki Scam

“Is Nagendra a convicted person?” Karnataka Home Minister Priyank Kharge asked Monday, dismissing BJP street protests demanding the resignation of Minister B Nagendra over the alleged Karnataka Dalit Valmiki Corporation scam. Kharge challenged the opposition to move their grievances from the streets to the floor of the state Assembly.

As BJP legislators attempted to force entry into the Vidhana Soudha, Kharge argued that the government has already addressed the controversy. He urged the opposition to submit a formal notice for a debate rather than staging theatrical demonstrations. The Minister emphasized that the government and Nagendra have both placed their positions on public record, questioning the legitimacy of the BJP’s aggressive campaign.

Kharge also addressed media reports regarding the disappearance of IAS officer Gyanendra, who is linked to ongoing investigations. He clarified that the officer had formally submitted a leave application due to his father's illness, refuting claims that he had absconded. Regarding wider corruption concerns, including the KPSC case, the Home Minister reiterated a zero-tolerance policy, confirming that the state is cooperating with the Enforcement Directorate and will pursue legal action against anyone found guilty, regardless of their position.
