Priyanka Gandhi of the Congress party has sharply criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his silence on a sex scandal involving the son and grandson of former Indian Prime Minister Deve Gowda, both of Janata Dal (Secular), which is allied with the BJP in Karnataka. The scandal has stirred significant controversy and raised questions about the BJP’s stance on women’s safety and integrity in political alliances. According to Kashmir Media Service, Gandhi questioned whether Modi would address the allegations that have implicated H D Revanna and his son, MP Prajwal Revanna, in acts of sexual harassment and stalking, as alleged by their family’s cook. The BJP’s prior knowledge of the situation was highlighted by a letter from a BJP leader to the party’s Karnataka unit president, which claimed the existence of a pen drive containing incriminating videos involving Prajwal Revanna. The complainant has accused H D Revanna of sexual harassment, and Prajwal Revanna of engaging in inappropriate video calls with h
er daughter. Priyanka Gandhi’s social media post condemned the BJP’s continued association with the accused individuals, especially given Modi’s recent campaign appearances with Prajwal Revanna. She urged the Prime Minister to break his silence on the issue that poses serious implications for his party’s governance and ethical standards. The allegations have prompted concerns about the safety of the complainant and her family, amidst fears of retribution. This scandal underscores the broader issues of political responsibility and women’s safety in India, challenging the BJP’s credibility and its commitments under Modi’s leadership.
