Karnataka Sex Tapes: HD Deve Gowda Breaks Silence, Says ‘No Objection To Action Against Prajwal’

Prajwal, the JD(S) Lok Sabha MP and candidate from the Hassan seat is an accused in the sex video case and is out of the country currently.

Former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda broke his silence on the sex video scandal involving his grandson Prajwal Revanna, expressing no objection to taking action against the fugitive JD(S) MP. The release of video clips purportedly showing Prajwal Revanna engaging in sexual misconduct has sparked outrage in Karnataka’s political spheres. He claimed many other people were involved in the case, and action should be taken against them. “Action needs to be taken against all those who are involved in this case. I will not take their names,” the Janata Dal (Secular) supremo told News18 on his 91st birthday.

Gowda, who turned 92 years old today, had cancelled his birthday celebrations. As per reports, the former PM is in no mood to celebrate his birthday in light of developments surrounding his grandson Prajwal, who is the prime accused in an alleged sex video scandal and presently absconding.

Speaking to the media after visiting the Lakshmi Venkateshwara Temple in JP Nagar, Bengaluru, and offering special prayers on his birthday, Deve Gowda said, “The people of the state know how the case against JD(S) MLA, HD Revanna, my son, is being dealt with. In one case, three bails have been granted. The judgment is reserved for Monday on another bail petition. I don’t want to analyse how the developments happened.”

When asked whether there was an attempt to corner the Deve Gowda family, he replied, “It is true. As the arrested BJP leader G Devaraje Gowda claimed, there are many people involved.

“I will speak to the media after June 4 regarding the matter. Until then, I won’t speak,” he underlined.

“The trial of cases against Prajwal Revanna and HD Revanna is being conducted in court. I don’t want to say much about it. Former CM HD Kumaraswamy, (his other son), has stated that action has to be initiated legally. Many are involved in the case, and Kumaraswamy has demanded that action must be taken against all of them,” he said.

“Kumaraswamy will speak on the issue representing our family. He has also clearly stated that it is the government’s responsibility to initiate action within the legal framework. I will also reiterate those words,” Deve Gowda stated.

When asked about BJP leader G Devaraje Gowda’s allegation that Deputy CM DK Shivakumar made an offer of Rs 100 crore to malign his family, Deve Gowda maintained that Kumaraswamy was responding to developments and he did not want to make any comments.

“Kumaraswamy will speak about all matters. I have completed 91 years. I went to the temple and offered prayers. I have requested my fans not to celebrate my birthday this year. My fans and supporters have conducted worship in temples. I wish all my supporters good luck on this occasion,” Deve Gowda stated.

Meanwhile, efforts are on to bring Prajwal Revanna back to India. Prajwal, the JD(S) Lok Sabha MP and candidate from the Hassan seat is an accused in the sex video case and is out of the country currently.
