JS(D) halts Deve Gowda's grandson due to sex scandal: Kumaraswamy

In a recent statement, former Chief Minister and JD leader HD Kumaraswamy addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding his nephew and former Prime Minister Deve Gowda's grandson, Prajwal Revanna. Kumaraswamy revealed that his party had already made the decision to suspend Revanna in light of an alleged sex scandal in his parliamentary constituency of Hassan.

During a media interaction in Shivamogga, Kumaraswamy expressed suspicion that the Congress party was attempting to blow the issue out of proportion. He clarified that the decision to suspend Revanna had been made and would be discussed in the upcoming core committee meeting in Hubballi. The official announcement is expected to be made on Tuesday.

Kumaraswamy also mentioned that he had discussed the matter with his father, former Prime Minister Deve Gowda, before taking any action. He reiterated that Revanna had been expelled on Sunday, and it was not a matter concerning the Deve Gowda family. He urged the media not to involve him or his father in the controversy, emphasizing that it was an individual's issue and not a family matter.

The former Chief Minister also addressed the importance of punishing the guilty and stated that Revanna's family had already been separated. He expressed regret over not being aware of the situation and promised to have avoided the embarrassment if he had known about it. Kumaraswamy also urged for a thorough investigation into the distribution of the sex videos, which he claimed had been circulated on a large scale.

In the meantime, Deputy Chief Minister and Congress leader D.K. Shivakumar criticized the BJP for not taking a clear stance on the issue. He stressed that the BJP, being in alliance with the JD-S, should be held accountable for the scandal. Shivakumar stated that the Congress party had no involvement in the matter, and it was the BJP and NDA's responsibility to clarify their position on the Prajwal Revanna case.
