Kumaraswamy responsible for imprisonment of Prajwal Revanna, says Congress MLA for Maddur

Maddur MLA K M Udaya on Monday alleged that Union Minister and former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy was responsible for the imprisonment of former MP Prajwal Revanna.

Speaking to reporters in Maddur, on Monday, the Congress MLA he said, "The people have rejected Nikhil Kumaraswamy thrice, when he contested the elections from Mandya, Ramanagara and Channapatna. Since Nikhil could not be successful, he ensured that the political career of Prajwal, son of his brother H D Revanna, is ended and he is sent to jail".

"Kumaraswamy could not tolerate the popularity of Prajwal Revanna. Hence, he created pen drives during the election and ensured that he was sent to jail. If former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda had willed, he could have brought him out. But, Prajwal could not come out of the jail, due to Kumaraswamy", he alleged.

"How right is it for Kumaraswamy to come to Maddur and provoke the people of Gejjalagere to stage a protest?" he asked.
