Congress govt knew about Prajwal Revanna, waited till Vokkaligas voted: Amit Shah
Op IndiaIn a scathing attack on Congress, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said its government in Karnataka knew about the obscene video allegations against suspended JD-S leader Prajwal Revanna for months but allowed him to flee as it wanted the voting for Lok Sabha polls in Vokkaliga-dominated areas in the state to conclude. In an exclusive interview with ANI, Amit Shah said Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar and state Home Minister G Parameshwara were responsible for Revanna fleeing the country. A political row has erupted over Prajwal Revanna, who has been booked by Karnataka Police in the “obscene video” case, “having left the country” and claims of some opposition parties that he had gone to a European country. Answering queries, Amit Shah also refuted Congress allegations that BJP wants to “finish Constitution” if it gets 400 plus seats in the Lok Sabha, and said Rahul Gandhi is “scared” and is “misleading” people.
