Prajwal Revanna ‘sex scandal’: Father HD Revanna alleges ‘conspiracy’, says won't run away
Karnataka political turmoil: Prajwal Revanna, grandson of HD Deve Gowda, embroiled in sex tape scandal. HD Revanna calls it a conspiracy. BJP demands probe.
HD Revanna, a prominent figure in Karnataka politics and a member of the Janata Dal (Secular) party, has made strong statements regarding the recent scandal involving his nephew, Prajwal Revanna. Prajwal Revanna, who currently serves as the Member of Parliament for Hassan and is the grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, has found himself embroiled in controversy over alleged sex tapes.
In response to the allegations, HD Revanna addressed the issue with determination, stating, “I know what kind of conspiracy is going on. I am not someone who will get scared and run away. They have released something that is 4-5 years old. Expelling him (Prajwal Revanna) from the party is left to the party high command,” as reported by ANI.
The scandal erupted when thousands of pen drives, purportedly containing videos of sexual assault involving Prajwal Revanna, were circulated in Hassan, his Lok Sabha constituency. The tapes have caused a significant stir in the political landscape of Karnataka, especially with the upcoming elections.
Prajwal Revanna, a key figure in Karnataka politics and a member of the Janata Dal (Secular), has denied the allegations vehemently. He has termed the videos as fake and an attempt to malign his reputation ahead of the elections. In response to the allegations, Prajwal Revanna said, “These are all fake videos, nothing new. I am ready to face any inquiry,” emphasizing his readiness to confront the issue head-on.
The scandal has not only brought scrutiny upon Prajwal Revanna but also has political ramifications, given his family's political stature. Being the grandson of HD Deve Gowda, a respected figure in Indian politics, Prajwal's alleged involvement in such controversy has drawn attention from various quarters.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is in opposition in Karnataka and is also contesting in Hassan, has capitalized on the scandal, using it as ammunition against the Janata Dal (Secular) and its candidate Prajwal Revanna. BJP leaders have called for a thorough investigation into the matter and demanded action against those involved if the allegations are proven true.
The Janata Dal (Secular), on the other hand, has rallied behind Prajwal Revanna, maintaining his innocence and attributing the scandal to political sabotage. HD Revanna's statements echo this sentiment, portraying the scandal as a conspiracy to defame his nephew and the party.
As the political drama unfolds, the fate of Prajwal Revanna and the impact of this scandal on the upcoming elections in Karnataka remain uncertain. With both sides digging in their heels and the media attention intensifying, the situation is likely to escalate further before any resolution is reached.
