Former MLA demands Madhu Bangarappa’s resignation
Former MLA K.B. Prasanna Kumar has called for the resignation of Karnataka's School Education Minister, Madhu Bangarappa, following corruption allegations. The accusations stem from claims that individuals close to the minister demanded a bribe from a local government official.
Why it matters
Corruption allegations against high-ranking state officials can significantly impact regional political stability and public trust in government administration.
Former MLA and Janata Dal (Secular) leader K.B. Prasanna Kumar on Tuesday demanded the resignation of School Education Minister Madhu Bangarappa over the recent corruption allegation made by Shivamogga Urban Development Authority (SUDA) chairman H.S. Sundaresh.
Addressing a press conference in Shivamogga, Mr. Prasanna Kumar said that Mr. Sundaresh, who belongs to the ruling Congress, had alleged that people close to the Minister, who is in charge of Shivamogga district, had demanded a bribe of ₹25 lakh from the SUDA Commissioner.
“This is a serious allegation made by a Congress leader who holds the post of SUDA chairman. The Karnataka Lokayukta should register a suo motu case and investigate the matter on the basis of Mr. Sundaresh’s statements,” he said.
