Amit Shah attacks Congress over sex scandal involving Deve Gowda’s grandson
Union Minister and BJP leader Amit Shah on Tuesday attacked the Congress government over “inaction” regarding the sex abuse case involving the former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda’s grandson and NDA candidate Prajwal Revanna.
“This cannot be tolerated. BJP’s stand is clear – we stand with ‘Nari Shakti’,” he said.
The Janata Dal (Secular) suspended Prajwal Revanna on Tuesday over the sex clips, according to his uncle and former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy.
The Home Minister also directed a message to Priyanka Gandhi, urging her to focus on questioning her own Chief Minister rather than targeting PM Modi.
“I want to tell Priyanka Gandhi that instead of asking PM Modi, question your own Chief Minister. Why isn’t he taking action? We are in favour of a probe. Our ally (JDS) has also discussed action. There is no confusion in the BJP, we want the strongest condemnation of any insult to matrishakti,” Shah said.
Shah stressed the seriousness of the situation and reiterated the need for swift action. He called on the Congress to explain why no action has been taken despite the latter being in power in the state.
