JD(S) MLA refuses to withdraw case against Prajwal Revanna which disqualified him from Parliament
Bengaluru: Reacting to the Karnataka High Court’s order on disqualifying Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna from his post over alleged irregularities in his 2019 poll affidavit, JD(S) MLA A. Manju on Friday welcomed the development and also expressed that justice had been delivered.
Addressing the reporters here, he stated that “I welcome the High Court’s judgment, our legal struggle has got justice.”
“He has been disqualified for providing false information. If they believe that they are right, they shall pursue a legal battle. But in a changed scenario I am now a JDS MLA. Even though we are in the same party there is no question of withdrawing the case against Prajwal," he clarified.
Manju further clarified that he joined the JD(S) without any conditions, and that he also had informed about the case filed against Prajwal in the past itself during the conversation between JD(S) chief H.D Deve Gowda.
Manju who contested the polls in 2019 from the BJP ticket against Revanna, lost the polls following which he and G Devarajegowda, a advocate from the constituency filed petitions alleging election malpractice as per the Conduct of Election Process Rules.

We will move court again to resist voter deletions: Mamata
Kolkata (PTI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday hit out at the BJP and the Election Commission over voter deletions during the SIR exercise and said her party will move a court again to resist the removal of electors from the rolls.
Her comments came after nearly 91 lakh voters' names were deleted from the electoral rolls following the completion of the Special Intensive Revision in the state.
“You will not be able to defeat the TMC by deleting names. We will move a court again to resist the exclusion of names," Banerjee said while attacking her principal challenger BJP over the roll revision exercise.
Banerjee had in February argued in the Supreme Court as she sought an intervention in the SIR process.
The EC figures, which pushed the total deletion to over 90.83 lakh names from the original voter base of 7.66 crore in October 2025, showed that the proportion of removal of electors now remains at over 11.85 per cent.
Criticising the poll panel over the SIR process, she also said, "We will fight legally to get the names included on the list as per the Constitution. If people cannot cast their votes, what is the need to frame the tribunal? And then you are saying that the list has been frozen. What is this? We will challenge it and try to understand it."
Addressing a poll rally at Arambagh in Hooghly district, the TMC supremo accused the saffron party of trying to manipulate the electoral rolls and offering money to woo voters.
Banerjee also charged the Election Commission with intimidating people over the phone.
“It (EC) is working at the behest of the BJP. It is calling people over the telephone to threaten and intimidate them,” she claimed.
Later, while speaking at a rally in Balagarh in the same district, Banerjee warned that voting for the BJP would effectively mean "giving up fish, meat, and speaking in Bengali".
“People are not allowed to eat eggs, fish, or meat in the BJP-ruled states like Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra. The same will happen here if the BJP comes to power," Banerjee claimed.
