Addressing a joint press conference here on Wednesday, the BJP leaders questioned the need to re-induct Mr. Nagendra into the Cabinet while investigations into the alleged irregularities were still under way. Mr. Mattimadu alleged that Mr. Nagendra was facing cases before multiple investigating agencies and would have to appear regularly in court. Mr. Shivakumar must explain what compelled him to bring Mr. Nagendra back into the Cabinet. Mr. Telkur asked. The BJP leaders said they would continue to raise the issue inside and outside the legislature and warned of protests outside Deputy Commissioners’ offices across the State until Mr. Nagendra resigns.
