The driver of suspended Janata Dal (Secular) MP Prajwal Revanna, Karthik, has alleged that he handed over a pen drive containing ‘sex abuse video clips’ to BJP leader Devaraje Gowda. Karthik made the remarks in a video message on social media, where he claimed that he approached Gowda after distancing himself from Prajwal, seeking justice as his land was taken away and his wife was beaten up.
Gowda has denied the allegations, saying that he did not receive any such pen drive. He has also stated that neither the JD(S) nor the BJP would release the videos as it would go against the NDA alliance’s candidate.
Meanwhile, the JD(S) has suspended its Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna from the party with immediate effect till the SIT completes its investigation into the matter. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has also said that the BJP will not tolerate any insult to women, targeting the Congress party for not acting despite being in power in the state.
Prajwal Revanna is the BJP-JD(S) alliance candidate for the Hassan Lok Sabha constituency. Both the JD(S) and the BJP have denied the allegations and said that they will not release the videos as it would go against the NDA alliance’s candidate.
