Hassan, May 2: JD(S) MLC Suraj Revanna on Thursday said that the scandal and charges of sexual abuse levelled against his brother and Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna was a "conspiracy to weaken their family politically".
He claimed that he has no information about the whereabouts of Prajwal Revanna, who has been served a notice by the Special Investigation Team over the alleged sex scandal involving him.
He termed the scandal and charges of sexual abuse against his brother and his father and MLA H D Revanna, a former Minister, as a conspiracy to weaken them politically, and expressed confidence about Prajwal's win in the Lok Sabha polls.
H D Revanna is the son of JD(S) patriarch and former PM H D Deve Gowda. Prajwal, grandson of Deve Gowda, was the BJP-JD(S) alliance's candidate from Hassan Lok Sabha segment, which went to the polls on April 26.
"The (sex scandal involving Prajwal Revanna) case has been handed over for investigation (to SIT), whatever has to be proved will get proved there. How can I react to it? I don't have information about Prajwal Revanna," Suraj Revanna told reporters here.
On an FIR being registered against his father H D Revanna too, he said, "Let them put a thousand more (FIRs), what has to be proved will ultimately get proved. People of our taluk and district know what Revanna is. I don't want to react."
"Anyone can do anything out of political malice. If you take Hassan politics, there is no competitor for Revanna. There is no one who has done politics like him. To weaken him, all these conspiracies are being hatched," he added.
Scores of explicit video clips allegedly involving Prajwal Revanna had started making the rounds in Hassan recently. The state government has constituted an SIT to probe the alleged sex scandal involving the MP.
The SIT on Tuesday issued notice to Prajwal Revanna and his father Revanna, who have been booked for alleged sexual harassment at the Holenarsipura police station in Hassan district on April 28, based on a complaint by a woman who worked in their house, directing them to appear for investigation.
Prajwal who reportedly left for Germany on April 27, the very next day of the polls, on Wednesday sought seven days' time to appear before the SIT.
Regarding reports of his meeting with Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, Suraj said they were mere speculations and that he had met the former in January, and after that no such meeting had taken place.
Asked whether JD(S) leaders and workers seem to be in some sort of confusion following the developments around the alleged sex scandal, the MLC said there is no confusion. "Even yesterday there were meetings held to take stock of the situation after the polls. Hundred percent Prajwal Revanna will win."
"Let anyone charge anything, let's wait and see what comes out of the SIT probe," he added.
Victims under pressure?
Meanwhile, victims in the videos of the alleged sex scandal involving the MP, are reportedly refusing to come before the SIT which is probing the case.
Some of the victims are said to have told the SIT officials that they don't want to talk to them about the case, while a few are not reachable, sources said.

Jihadists are fuming , when they beg funds for madrasa and shaadi bhagya , why not give it for temples .ofcourse 98% tax paid by hindus, jains , christians and sikhs .who are proud nationalists ... well done KCR , even give for all temples .
This is only a show biz. Thousands of poors and farmers are suffering all over india and many people are commenting suicde due to poverty on daily basis. Why dont this CM use the money on uplifting of poors. Is his God poorer than these poor indians. Why the temple management is not showing interest in the improvement or help of needy people. If the wealth these temples have will be used wisely, i think 75 percent of poverty in india can be solved. However, no politician or temple is botherd about this.
Whose money is that, being a responsible CM he should have given it to poorer and downtrodden people around or helped farmers to over come their financial problems. Everyday we see on newspaper of their suicide attempts and deaths due to financial situations....
God does not need anybody's money...God gives, doesn't take.....
in Hyderabad itself so many poor people re there..he should have used this money for their betterment..
There is no God except ALLAH... and Muhammd pbuh is the final messager of ALLAH who conveyed the message of oneness of God to all mankind not just muslims...
Every time the messenger was sent to remind people of the oneness of God and to worship him alone... When the messenger was gone people started to worship whatever they felt... even without knowing and trying to know who GOD is ... People live a life of UNAWARE...
READ THE QURAN and try to know who the TRUE GOD . its a manual for whole of MANKIND... Dont accept until YOU are convinced with what it says ... U Have the choice..
Does GOD require gift from Human? Does GOD will be happy or accept if Human give ornaments which that statue can't even wear by himself unless human help? Does GOD require gift from tax payers money? What GOD is going to do with expensive ornaments?
On the other side Sanghi's protecting their GOD (cow) by violence. Does GOD need help or Protection from his own creation. Muscle head doesn't understand.
There are many people who are living in poverty... It would be a blessing from God if the CM would have looked after the LIVING and not idols...
its pure emotional black mail to people by offering the gold to lifeless objects
May God give a just leader to the people of the World...
For what ??? What benefit will Idols get and what benefit CM will get ?? Instead of spending this huge amount in idols CM could have spend it on poor people so that he could be blessed out of it. In 5 crore how many poor people could have benefited? How many shelters for poor could have built it ? This is nothing but wastage of wealth. God Doesnt need anything from human being. Help poor and be kind to all. This gold will fill the lockers of temple management.
Niralli Homa itta hage aitu.. Seriously crazy CM and crazy beliefs.
