Bengaluru: The Karnataka BJP has said that former minister B. Nagendra’s resignation in connection with the alleged Valmiki Corporation irregularities is only the first step and that its fight will continue until justice is delivered to the Scheduled Tribe community.
In a post on X, the BJP claimed that its sustained campaign had resulted in its “first victory” with Nagendra’s resignation. However, the party said the issue would not end there.
