Bangalore: Three ministers in Karnataka, an Indian state, had to resign after being caught watching porn videos during assembly session, Indian media reported on Wednesday.
According to reports, television cameras caught two BJP ministers — Lakshman Savadi and CC Patil and Krishna Palemar —watching pornography on cellphone.
Reports said Savadi held the cooperation portfolio while Patil was women and child development minister and Palemar held ministry of ports and shipping.
The ministers were caught in the act even as the House was in the middle of a heated debate, sparking country-wide furore.
Congress, the opposition party in Karnataka, has demanded the resignation of Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda-led BJP government over three of its ministers being caught watching porn video clippings in the state assembly, the Hindu reported.
“The BJP has several tainted ministers. There are people facing corruption charges and also criminal charges. They have no right to continue in power. Sadananda Gowda government should resign immediately,” Opposition Congress leader in the State Assembly, Siddaramaiah, told reporters here.
