Priyank Kharge accuses BJP of conspiring to send Prajwal Revanna abroad
Bengaluru: Minister Priyank Kharge has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of orchestrating a plot to send Janata Dal (Secular) MP Prajwal Revanna abroad in connection with a recent sex scandal. Addressing reporters on Friday, Kharge criticized the BJP's handling of the situation and the focus on the leak rather than the incident itself.
Kharge stated, "Instead of discussing the whereabouts of the person involved, the focus has shifted to who leaked the video. Moreover, JDS leaders are only discussing the irrelevant issues."
He further alleged that BJP has been involved in a conspiracy to send Revanna abroad, even before the filing of the FIR. "It is known that Home Minister Amit Shah has said Prajwal should not be given a ticket in the Lok Sabha elections. This plot to send him abroad was orchestrated by the BJP. Devaraj Gowda has confirmed that the BJP was aware of all this," Kharge said.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
