Hassan: The scandal surrounding Prajwal Revanna, Hassan MP, has taken a dramatic turn as former Karnataka Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy accuses BJP leaders of involvement. Speaking to ANI news agency, Kumaraswamy made serious allegations, claiming that a BJP leader shared the controversial pen drive containing obscene videos.

Kumaraswamy asserted, "After realising victory in Hassan was unlikely, opposition leaders, including a BJP leader, shared the pen drive. They have attempted to tarnish our family's reputation and misused government power to do so. The involvement of a senior minister and certain BJP leaders from Hassan is evident."

The alliance between BJP and JDS was formed during the Lok Sabha elections, with voting taking place in 14 constituencies on August 26. Now, as Prajwal's scandal gains nationwide attention, Kumaraswamy's accusations threaten to strain the alliance between BJP and JDS.
