Karnataka BJP President, BY Vijayendra, stated on Saturday that due to names of prominent leaders being linked to the sex video scandal, the Special Investigation Team can’t probe the scandal transparently. Speaking to reporters at the party office in Bengaluru, Vijayendra said that the Karnataka government should hand over the case to the CBI, when asked about the statement by arrested BJP leader G Devaraje Gowda that he was offered money to corner Deve Gowda’s family.
The release of the video clips allegedly showing former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda’s grandson and Hassan sitting MP Prajwal Revanna sexually abusing women has taken political circles and civil society by storm in Karnataka. “Why are they hesitant? It is because the names of prominent state government leaders are now linked to the scandal,” he slammed. “I am not supporting anyone in this. The use of the scandal for political purposes must stop, and the victims need to get justice. The matter should be taken to its logical end, which is why a CBI probe is being demanded,” Vijayendra stated.
