Former Prime Minister H. D. Deve Gowda, who is celebrating his 91st birthday on May 18, said while all possible action should be taken against his grandson and Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna as per the law of the land, he alleged that the cases against his son and Holenarasipura MLA H. D. Revanna were ‘created’ to arrest him.
This is the first comment by the Janata Dal (Secular) supremo on the sex abuse allegations against his grandson and Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna.
Mr. Deve Gowda had not stepped out of his Padmanabhanagar residence in Bengaluru since April 27 when Prajwal Revanna left the country for Germany. The last time, the former PM was seen in public was when he cast his vote, along with his wife, in his village Paduvalahippe, Holenarasipura, Hassan district of Karnataka, on April 26.
