The BJP alleged that the Congress government in Karnataka was indulging in money-laundering activities involving the exchequer.
The protest march was led by state president B.Y. Vijayendra and opposition leader R. Ashok from Vidhan Soudha to the Governor's residence.
All BJP MLAs and MLCs participated in the protest and raised slogans against the Congress government of the state.
The MLAs criticized the Congress government for not demanding the resignation of Minister Nagendra.
Vijayendra said that Congress used the money reserved for the development of Dalits in the Lok Sabha elections.
Vijayendra suggested that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was afraid to demand the minister's resignation.
He also called for handing over the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Vijayendra further alleged that the money meant for the development of Dalits was transferred to 17 fake accounts in Hyderabad."We have been demanding the minister's resignation for a long time. The Congress government has not responded," he said.
A delegation of BJP leaders met Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot and submitted a memorandum in this regard. The memorandum demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Minister Nagendra.
The memorandum said, "Ever since the Congress Party took over the state government in May-June 2023, our state has become a breeding ground for corruption and illegal money-laundering activities involving the public exchequer. Now, a major scam has come to light Is."The Karnataka Maharishi Valmiki Scheduled Tribal Development Board under the Ministry of Tribal Welfare of Karnataka includes Rs 87 crore and additional funds.
"A sum of Rs 87 crore and above meant for the welfare of tribal people and Scheduled Tribes in Karnataka has been misappropriated and misused by the political bigwigs of the government," the memorandum alleged.
A major scam in the corporation came to light after the suicide of Chandrashekharan (50), who was working as Account Superintendent in the Tribal Welfare Board.
He was allegedly pressured to transfer huge sums of money to various illegal accounts. The memorandum said that in his death note he detailed how a sitting cabinet minister of the department had put pressure on him.
