MP Prajwal Revanna, grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, ran into a controversy after multiple videos allegedly showing him sexually abusing women were circulated in Hassan. Consequently, the JD(S), BJP's alliance partner in the state, suspended Prajwal Revanna from the party.

On the other hand, Karnataka CM's office announced a SIT probe and said that Prajwal has left the country.

HD Kumaraswamy Responds To Prajwal Revanna's Case

On the scandal, former Karnataka CM and JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy said that while they won't protect him, the government bears greater responsibility. 

On 'obscene videos' case involving JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna, former Karnataka CM and JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy said, "...We are not going to protect him, we will take severe action but the government's responsibility is more. Not only as an uncle but as a common man of the country we have to move further."

"This is a shameful issue, I am not protecting any person. We have fought against these kinds of illegal things. This is a serious issue. Who is running the government, they have to expose the real picture and the ground reality has to be exposed by the govt and not me," he said.
