The sexual exploitation case involving JD(S) candidate Prajwal Revanna has brought the focus on the NDA alliance in Karnataka. While the alliance partners contend that the Congress is trying to damage the JD(S), leaders believe the partnership will remain intact. The JD(S) has decided to allow Revanna’s family to deal with the legal issues and will not defend him. The BJP has distanced itself from the scandal, with sources indicating a long-term plan to secure Vokkaliga votes. Despite allegations against a former BJP MLA, party sources claim that action against him is unlikely at this time.
