Prajwal Revanna sexual assault case | Decision on alliance with JD(S) in Karnataka will be made by BJP leaders, says H.D. Kumaraswamy

Stating that the accusations of sexual assault on women against Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna would not have an impact on the Lok Sabha elections, former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy said that continuation of the alliance with BJP in Karnataka will depend on the saffron party’s leaders.

“I am not bothered about whether the alliance will continue or not. I am bothered about justice to the victims of sexual assault. Should the alliance continue or not is not up to me. I want the alliance to be a long term one. I do not want to embarrass anyone. Any decision, they (BJP leaders) will take,” he told mediapersons in Bengaluru on May 7.

He was responding to a question on whether alliance would continue in Karnataka in the light of some BJP leaders stating that the central leaders would take a call.
