Vijayendra said, "Before the House begins on August 13, we are demanding that the Chief Minister drop Nagendra, the corrupt minister, from the Cabinet." "We are warning the Chief Minister today that Nagendra's resignation must be obtained before the House begins. Otherwise, both outside and inside the House, the BJP and JD(S) will fight this issue until the Chief Minister obtains Nagendra's resignation," Vijayendra said. In such circumstances, inducting Nagendra into the Cabinet is an unforgivable offence," the BJP state chief alleged. Or did pressure come from the Congress high command on the Chief Minister?
