Countering allegations of the Opposition BJP and its alliance partner JD(S) that SIT probing the alleged sexual exploitation case of Hassan MP and JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna was “partisan”, Siddaramaiah on Tuesday, May 7, reiterated that the State government “would not interfere in the investigation even by an inch” and that the team was independent, efficient and impartial.
Centre’s role
In a release, the Chief Minister said that the success of the SIT investigation now rests entirely on the cooperation of the Centre. “It is the Central government that should help us bring back the accused who is said to be in a foreign country. The BJP, which still is in an alliance with the JDS, should make its stand clear,” he said.
