The alleged 94 crore scam in Karnataka’s tribal corporation that led to a minister’s resignation 

The recent death of a superintendent at the corporation has brought the alleged scam to light. Opposition parties have claimed that the government was aware of funds being misappropriated. 

The Karnataka government’s Scheduled Tribes Welfare Minister B Nagendra resigned from his post on Thursday (June 6), amid allegations of a Rs 94 crore scam linked to the state’s tribal development body.

After a superintendent of the Karnataka Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribe Development Corporation (KMVSTDC) allegedly died by suicide on May 26, calls were made for Nagendra’s removal.

The opposition BJP has demanded an investigation, while JD(S) state president H D Kumaraswamy alleged that the misappropriation of funds was based on directions from the Congress high command.

How did the alleged scam become known?

Established under the Indian Companies Act of 1956, the KMVSTDC is a part of Karnataka’s Ministry of Scheduled Tribes Welfare. It extends subsidies and loans under self-employment schemes and provides skill training for the economic development of the tribal community.
