Govt has not stopped Kumaraswamy from fighting from his end, clarifies DK Shivakumar
Hassan sex scandal
Bengaluru: Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar declared that the government had not obstructed JD(S) State President HD Kumaraswamy from fighting legally in the Hassan sex scandal, where JD(S) MP from Hassan Prajwal Revanna, who is Kumaraswamy's nephew, is the primary accused.
The JD(S) senior leader and former CM of Karnataka was welcome to stand up for the MP as well as his father and Kumaraswamy's elder brother HD Revanna to fight against the allegations faced by the duo, Shivakumar told the reporters who met him near his house at Sadashiva Nagar on Thursday.
He stressed on the freedom given by the state government when a reporter pointed out that Kumaraswamy has been demanding that the case be handed over from the Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed by the state government to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for a probe. Shivakumar, however, said that he would comment on the CBI taking over the investigation after he returned from the campaign rallies in Andhra Pradesh.
The Deputy CM also refused to comment on opinions regarding his involvement in the case, clarifying that he had given his full statement on the issue already. The rest of the matter would be discussed in the Assembly session, he added.
