Shivamogga: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over JD (S) MP Prajwal Revanna from Hassan Lok Sabha Constituency, who is facing a SIT probe over allegations of sexual abuse. He alleged that PM Modi let him go to Germany despite being in power at the Centre.
"They needed an alliance, wanted power and so can go to any extent. They have machinery, intelligence, customs and everything, but still, PM Modi let this mass rapist go to Germany. This is his guarantee," he said during a public meeting in Shivamogga, Karnataka.
Calling Prajwal Revanna a "mass rapist", Rahul Gandhi alleged that PM insulted every woman in the country by campaigning for the JDS MP.
"Prajwal Revanna is a mass rapist. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was seeking votes for him from the stage in Karnataka, thus supporting that mass rapist. The prime minister should apologise to every woman in the nation for insulting them.
This news (allegations of sexual abuse) has spread worldwide that the PM has sought votes for a mass rapist," alleged Rahul Gandhi at a polly rally.

Taking to his social media platform X, Rahul Gandhi alleged, "What Revanna did is not a sex scandal but a 'mass rape'! From the stage in Karnataka, the Prime Minister was supporting that mass rapist and asking for votes for him. Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and every BJP leader should apologize to every woman of the country with folded hands and bowed head for this sin. We will let the mass rapist escape from India - this is Modi's guarantee!"
Meanwhile, Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara hinted at the possibility of an arrest of the JD(S) legislator if he fails to appear for questioning.
"Look out notice has been issued. It has been informed that he (Prajwal Revanna) has to appear before the SIT. They (HD Revanna and Prajwal Revanna) have to appear as notice is given. If they don't appear, they will be arrested," Parmeshwara told the media on Thursday.
The BJP and JDS have formed an alliance in Karnataka for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Revanna was booked in an alleged sexual harassment case on April 28 following complaints by his former housekeeper. The case has been registered under sections 354A, 354D, 506, and 509 of the IPC on charges of sexual harassment, intimidation and outraging the dignity of a woman.
