Kumaraswamy further said that this incident will not have much impact on the results of the Lok Sabha elections. HD Deve Gowda's grandson Prajwal Revanna is contesting the Lok Sabha elections from Hassan. He said that as far as Hassan elections are concerned, we have direct information that our candidate will win. Everyone is saying this. SIT has been formed in the case. Let the truth come out. This will not have any impact on the election results.
Questions asked to Congress?
Kumaraswamy said that I want to ask the Congress leaders why the family's name was brought in this and it is not a family issue that why the names of Kumaraswamy and Deve Gowda should be brought in this. SIT has been formed and let the truth come out.
What did Prajwal say on the news of Revanna fleeing the country?
When HD Kumaraswamy was asked about the news of Prajwal Revanna fleeing the country, he said that will he ask me and go every day? Let the government decide to bring them back. We didn't know anything about it before. They are living separately. If I had known about it I would have stopped everything. This is a personal matter.
This is Revanna's family issue
He said that this is an issue of Revanna's family. We have nothing to do with it. All four of them are living separately. If someone had brought up this issue it would have been resolved immediately. Earlier today, Janata Dal (Secular) MLA Sharan Gowda Kandakur wrote a letter to party president HD Deve Gowda demanding the expulsion of Prajwal Revanna from the party in the alleged obscene video case.
Expulsion of grandson will save the party from further embarrassment
Kandakur said the expulsion of HD Deve Gowda's grandson would save the party from further embarrassment. Another JDS MLA Samridhi Manjunath also raised questions on the issue, saying that it has become a matter of embarrassment for the party workers. He posted on Twitter that not only the common workers of the party are embarrassed in the state. In fact, even taking the name of the party has become shameful. Being a first time MLA, I am not able to answer the questions asked by the media. This is too much. Time has come that Honorable Speaker HD Deve Gowda should take appropriate decision.
SIT formed to investigate Actually, Prajwal Revanna is contesting from Hassan as a candidate of National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and he is facing competition from Shreyas Patel of Congress. The Karnataka government has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the alleged obscene video case against MP Revanna. The SIT team headed by IPS officer Vijay Kumar Singh includes DG CID Suman D Penekar and IPS officer Seema Latkar. TM has started investigating the matter.
