The allegations against Revanna have sent shockwaves through the political landscape, with serious repercussions not only for the individual involved but also for the ongoing electoral dynamics in the region.
Revanna, who represents the Hassan Lok Sabha constituency, stands accused of egregious acts of sexual abuse by a victim woman. Following the filing of an FIR against him, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has issued a lookout notice for Revanna and taken his father into custody.

The allegations against Revanna are grave, with reports suggesting that he recorded videos of the sexual offenses to intimidate and exploit the victim further.
Adding to the gravity of the situation, just a day after polling commenced for his Lok Sabha seat, Revanna reportedly fled the country using a diplomatic passport, seeking refuge in Germany. His sudden departure has raised eyebrows and intensified scrutiny over the case, leaving many questioning the motives behind such a drastic move.

Revanna, a senior leader of JDS has served in various capacities within the state government, including as a Minister in Karnataka.
The implications of Prajwal Revanna’s alleged actions extend beyond the confines of his personal conduct, casting a shadow over the political landscape, particularly in the context of ongoing elections. The JD(S), Revanna’s party, has been a key ally of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), with Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself recently sharing the stage with Revanna during a campaign rally in Karnataka. However, with these disturbing allegations coming to light, the political ramifications are profound.
The unfolding scandal surrounding Revanna has injected a new dimension into the electoral discourse, prompting widespread condemnation and soul-searching within political circles. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has seized upon the case to question the integrity of those in power and the alliances they forge. Gandhi’s sharp criticism of Prime Minister Modi’s association with Revanna underscores the gravity of the situation and the imperative for accountability.
As the investigation into Prajwal Revanna’s alleged misconduct unfolds, the repercussions are reverberating across Karnataka’s political landscape. By the time of filing of this report, there has been multiple FIRs filed against Mr. Revanna.
