The sensational alleged sex scandal involving Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna continues to dominate the political discourse in Karnataka amid the ongoing multi-phase Lok Sabha elections.
The Janata Dal (S), in a damage control exercise, on Tuesday suspended Prajwal Revanna from the party with immediate effect.
The suspension came minutes after the party core committee that met in Hubballi recommended his suspension to its national president and former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda, who is also Revanna's grandfather.
"Videos of Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna allegedly harassing women are widely in circulation on social media and media and this has caused huge embarrassment to the party and its leadership," the suspension order said.
Stating that the Congress government in Karnataka has constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate this, it said: "In this backdrop, as per JD(S)' party constitution and rules regarding breach of discipline and punishment, Prajwal Revanna has been suspended with immediate effect."
Prajwal is the BJP-JD(S) alliance's candidate from Hassan, which went to the polls on Friday. The 33-yearold is the son of H D Deve Gowda's elder son HD Revanna, who is an MLA and a former Minister. Prajwal's uncle H D Kumaraswamy is the state president of JD(S).
Some explicit video clips allegedly involving Prajwal Revanna had started making the rounds in Hassan in recent days.
