Bengaluru: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar and other state ministers on Saturday rubbished allegations about their role in the circulation of pen drives containing explicit videos involving Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna.
BJP leader and advocate G Devaraje Gowda, who is in custody after being arrested in a sexual abuse case and is also facing charges of video leak, on Friday alleged that Shivakumar and four other ministers are behind the circulation of the pen drives and was being fixed in false cases as he did not agree to be part of their plan.
He has even alleged that he was offered Rs 100 crore by Shivakumar to "bring a bad name" to the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and to tarnish the image of JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy in Prajwal Revanna's obscene video case.
Speaking to reporters here, Shivakumar said, "Better, let him (Gowda) file a case before Lokayukta or any other agency. I think he has some problems mentally. I'm very sorry, the national and state media shouldn't have picked up such baseless allegations. A person who is in jail, how can he make such allegations? All these are baseless. I don't want to comment."
Asked if he will be filing any defamation case against Gowda, he said, "I don't want to make any comment or speak on a person who is mentally sick. I appeal to his party people to get him a good treatment." Shivakumar also asserted that his government's commitment to get justice for women victims of the sexual abuse case, and expressed confidence about the Special Investigation Team's (SIT) ongoing probe.
While being taken from court in Hassan, Gowda on Friday spoke to media and alleged that Shivakumar is behind pen drive case, and a team of four Ministers -- N Chaluvarayaswamy, Krishna Byre Gowda, Priyank Kharge and another minister -- was formed to handle this, with an intention to bring bad name to BJP, PM Modi and Kumaraswamy.
He said Shivakumar had asked him to say that Kumaraswamy is behind the distribution of pen drives, but as he did not agree to it, he is being fixed in false cases.
Minister Priyank Kharge said Gowda has alleged that three responsible ministers in the state government were part of a team and that there was a conspiracy. "We will discuss whatever legal course, we will take it."
"Devaraje Gowda might be doing this to defame Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah. If he had a Rs 100 crore offer, he should have told Amit Shah (Union Home Minister) and get it investigated. He could have got CBI, ED, or IT raids done. Why didn't he do it? Claims have been made that he (Gowda) was sent Rs 5 crore as advance at a club, let them get CCTV footage and see who were all there," Kharge said.
While speaking to reporters here, he further said Gowda is a lawyer. When he was deposed before the Judge he should have told about the documents he has and should have presented to the court.
Minister Chaluvarayaswamy said allegations about the role of Shivakumar and a team of ministers being formed to oversee the circulation of pen drives are 'baseless', and he questioned Gowda's morality to make such accusations.
"If Gowda proves that Chaluvarayaswamy, Priyank Kharge and Krishna Byre Gowda had held a meeting on this case and we as a team were given responsibility and we were involved in this case, I will apologise," he said and alleged that Gowda was being used to mislead and deviate from the main case of sexual abuse.

Mr Rikaz , Sarva shakthimaan modi does not have manthra danda to chance poverty overnight ... it is becoz muslims backed congress country is like this , they did all mess .. citizens responsibility is also there man , do you know how much percentage of muslim community pays tax ? why your communities represenation is less in army ? did anyone stop u . who is giving religion as excuse for population increase and demsnding more benefits ... teetege maklu huttisi govt benefit kodtha illa annodu bidi ... FYI ... as per major institutes poverty level is falling in india and purchasing power of Indian has gone up . there is a silent revolution happening ... padubidri ge bandaaga sigappa ... lecture kodthini ... sumne dont talk with fake facts ...
poverty also raises if u confine women at home ... In china and other countries woman work , why muslim countries fail on that front ? it is the same reason . chennagi odsi , amele beda kanammi population jaasthi maadana antha maneli confine maadidre apparanege desha uddaraga agalla ... nimma fear enu annodu gottu ... 50-60% of muslim gals who have studied well and working in top companies have non muslim spouse or bf . it is the fact u cannot deny it .it might not be in that nos in mangalore . but certainly in big cities .even here in singapore and malaysia .
Naren, poverty is there everywhere in the world and our India is not away from it, 23% of the population comes under this line, there is no proper plan with government to overcome that situation....Modi is thinking day and night about richest of this country and doing good favor for them....

Dear Naren our population is only 20% despite being the owner of Indian land for about 1000 years that proves we were most seculars, tolerant and peaceful. When you came out from your cave with chaddi to support BJP & Modi for killing thousands of innocent Muslims in Gujarat we understood your true color. You can not fool Muslims and Dalits anymore. Stop hiding behind secular cover. Sooner or later India will be united against RSS and their affiliated terrorists'?outfits and will be cornered and finally destroyed with help of Indian Army In sh Allah.
Government of Karnataka should disqualify RSS affiliated / trained Police officials once for all. All Government departments must implement desaffronization process to keep country clean and secular.
Narianna .... it is true that Democracy has given right of barking to dogs... That is why DOGS are barking from Singapore.
If the school management objects the dress of the students, it is understood... Why these road goons / dogs are questioning... It is not their fathers college ... It is better to debar all students who question the dress of other students..
Naren, world wide Muslim power is accelerating which your sangh pariwar cannot tolerate....I think you guys needed burnol or itch guard more than anybody...Eat some cow dung that will give you relief from itches and burning sensation...
Dear Papu,
Why groupism?
Why names like KFD or BD?
Why not universal brotherhood?
We all need to start making individual efforts to build right and truthful society for the future generation. Groupism will take us no where.
Our act should guide the next generation to righteous and truthful path.
JAI HIND.

Mr sensible , yes exactly so to kill 60 people in Godhra , your community brought up nearly 10,000 for just killing women and kids .. shame on your people .we know how 100,000 strong mob attacked kashmiri pundith women and aged people and took away their daughters .you people speak as if people dont know the facts . we also know in shimogga , how PFI brought in 15000 people to create riots .we know who are cowards .
I request Shivamogga SP to register a suo motu case against this news portal too for spreading hatred against Hindus and nationalist Sangh Parivar by twisting reports. CD has raped and murdered all ethics of journalism.
Prakash, don't instigate, if you can, stop ABVP from creating puss and nonsense around there....what is the need for them to create problems for muslim women around.....dont they have mother and sisters at home....it is every Muslim women's right and duty to go according to Islamic way of life....education institution is there to learn and educate ourselves....but not to create problems around....
prakash, bangalore/shimogga
Saku marre saaku. You guys not only need BD but also need Cigarette, Ganja, Heroin.
So the BD & ABVP has now started assaulting Muslim girls?? If strong action is not taken now, they will be emboldened to do more. Why is the police not taking action against those who assaulted Muslim women? Looks like Karanataka Police is under the influence of Sangh Parivar as well. If the Police encourages such behaviour, they shouldn't be surprised if someone takes the law into their own hands
Prakash, Why do we need help of BD, or for Muslims KFD or any other moral policing group every time. Why cant we support the right and do the right things. Why blame the communities always. If we Practice right things in our life and support that what is right... then we will never want any support from anyone.
Be proud to be right and truthful and always support the right fact.
Satya Mev Jayate - JAI HIND
prakash.. BD is group of rats..who will be the first to run if they see any other big group .. they can attack with 20-25 ppl on a small group of 3-4. cowards
This is why we need BD . Bajrang dal should intervene immediately , muslim community is doing all nonsense stuff nowadays they are turning our peaceful district of shimogga into islamic district .They re taking advantage of local cong ministers and MLAs . wish we have robust sangh parivar network like our dk and udupi.
