Bengaluru, Jan 5 (UNI) Opposition BJP today demanded the sacking of Backward Classes Minister Puttaranga Shetty belonging to Congress party from H D Kumaraswamy cabinet in Karnataka after a government staffer working in the minister’s office in Vikasa Soudha here was caught carrying Rs 25.76 lakh in cash out of the seat of power on Friday evening.
