During a recent press conference, JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy made serious allegations against Karnataka's Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar. He asserted that they were involved in a conspiracy targeting his nephew, Prajwal Revanna, who is contesting the Lok Sabha elections from Hassan. According to Kumaraswamy, just before the elections, around 25,000 pen drives surfaced, purportedly containing videos depicting Prajwal Revanna engaging in sexual misconduct. These allegations were particularly alarming, as they emerged right before the polls, potentially influencing the voting process.
Moreover, Kumaraswamy expressed skepticism regarding the fairness of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) tasked with investigating the accusations against Prajwal Revanna. He raised concerns about the impartiality of the investigation, suggesting that it may be biased and aimed at tarnishing the reputation of his nephew and family members rather than seeking justice for any victims involved.
Kumaraswamy's frustration was evident as he highlighted the delay in taking action against those implicated in the complaint. He questioned why immediate action was not taken against the individuals mentioned in the complaint, especially given the seriousness of the allegations and the potential harm caused to Prajwal Revanna's reputation.
Additionally, Kumaraswamy shed light on the legal troubles facing Prajwal Revanna and his father, HD Revanna. These include accusations of molestation, kidnapping, and even rape. Prajwal Revanna, who left the country shortly after the elections in Hassan, has been summoned by the SIT for questioning but has not yet appeared before them.
Overall, Kumaraswamy's remarks underscored the gravity of the situation and the complex political dynamics at play, especially in the midst of a heated election campaign.
