JD(S) Member of Parliament Prajwal Revanna, who is facing charges of rape and sexual abuse, is trailing in the Hassan Lok Sabha seat in Karnataka. Congress candidate Shreyas M. Patel is leading by over 42,000 votes after 17 rounds of counting. This is a significant shift from the 2019 elections, where Prajwal Revanna won by a margin of 1.41 lakh votes. Several factors have contributed to Prajwal Revanna’s decline in popularity, including anti-incumbency, allegations of neglect of his constituents, and the emergence of obscene videos purportedly related to him.
