MY ARREST A POLITICAL CONSPIRACY, CLAIMS H D REVANNA
H D Revanna said on Sunday that his son’s kidnapping and subsequent alleged sexual assault of the lady were the result of a political plot. The ex-minister, the son of the late prime minister H. D. Dev Gowda, is accused of kidnapping and unlawfully confining a mother of three children. The woman’s son filed the complaint on Thursday.

CONGRESS SAT ON EVIDENCE AGAINST PRAJWAL: SITHARAMAN
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman asserted on Saturday that, despite being aware of the situation, the Karnataka Congress administration did nothing to punish the Hassan MP for around a year.
Sitharaman said that the Congress remained mute till the first round of the Lok Sabha elections was done because it was worried it could lose Vokkaliga votes.
They chose to keep quiet till the end of the first Lok Sabha session because they believed they may lose the Vokkaliga votes. The BJP representative asserted, “Now they are pushing it and making it a big issue, which is typical of Congress and shows their hypocrisy.”
