The Karnataka Legislative Assembly has been repeatedly disrupted for the fourth consecutive day as opposition legislators press for the removal of Nagendra.
The Karnataka Legislative Assembly in Bengaluru has faced another interruption, marking the fourth straight day of disorder. Opposition members entered the chamber and staged protests that halted the scheduled proceedings, preventing any bills or motions from being debated.
Lawmakers from the opposition have been vocal in demanding the removal of Nagendra, a senior figure associated with the ruling party. Their grievance centres on alleged misconduct, though specific accusations were not detailed in the public statements released during the disruption.
The Speaker of the Assembly responded by urging calm and reminding members of parliamentary decorum, while the ruling party defended Nagendra’s position, stating that due process would be followed before any action is taken. No formal motion for removal has yet been tabled.
The repeated stand‑offs have delayed the assembly’s agenda, raising concerns about legislative backlog and the ability of the state government to address pressing policy matters.
