All India Mahila Congress President Alka Lamba on Monday, 29 April, accused the BJP and JD(S) of being silent over the alleged sex scandal involving Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna and said the horrifying case of violence against women has shocked the nation.

“More than 3000 videos with hundreds of women being sexually harassed, violated and even brutalised by MP Prajwal Revanna over the past few years have shaken the conscience of Kannadigas and Indians alike,” she told at a press conference in Bengaluru.

Prajwal (33) is grandson of JD(S) supremo and former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda. JD(S) joined the NDA in September last year.

He was the NDA candidate in Hassan Lok Sabha constituency, which went for polls on 26 April. According to police sources, he left the country after voting was over.

‘Silence of BJP, JDS shameful’

The Congress government in Karnataka on Sunday constituted a Special Investigation Team to probe the alleged sex scandal.

Some explicit video clips allegedly involving Prajwal had started making the rounds in Hassan in recent days.

Lamba said the horrifying case of sexual violence against hundreds of women has shocked the nation.

“These acts of sexual brutality against hapless women has revealed the depravity of MP Prajwal Revanna, but the silence and sheer apathy of the BJP and JDS in this horrendous case is absolutely shameful,”, she said.

She alleged that in these videos, some recorded against the consent of the victim, women are seen pleading to be spared but the MP continues to brutalise and sexually violate them.

Party ‘karyakartas’, panchayat members, elderly women, women who came asking for help to him and even maids have not been spared.

“The horrible fact is, that the acts of this sexual predator MP Prajwal Revanna was endorsed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he campaigned in Old Mysuru Region on April 14th, 2024,” she alleged.

“….the BJP JDS are still silent which shows you their true Anti Woman DNA!! Will the BJP or JDS answer?”.
