Guwahati, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday condemned the alleged sexual exploitation of women linked to Lok Sabha MP Prajwal Revanna and said the BJP will not tolerate insult to women.
Revanna (33) is the BJP-JD(S) alliance candidate from Hassan Lok Sabha constituency, which went to polls on April 26.
Earlier in the day, JD(S) suspended Revanna from the party with immediate effect.
"The incident that has come to light in the media regarding Revanna is extremely sad and cannot be tolerated in any way," Shah said at a press conference here.
“BJP's stand is very clear; We will not tolerate any insult to 'Matri au Nari Shakti' (women empowerment).
Some explicit video clips involving former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda's grandson Prajwal Revanna were circulated in Hassan over the past few days.
The Home Minister said the Congress is alleging that an NDA ally candidate is involved in the incident, "but I just want to ask a small question - whose government is there in that state (Karnataka)?"
“Congress is in power in Karnataka and this matter must have come to their notice,” he said. Why has he not taken any action on this till now? We cannot take any action as law and order is a state issue.
