MYSURU: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday asserted that JD(S) MLA HD Revanna was arrested as per law and the government didn’t interfere in the matter
The CM also ridiculed the JD(S) claim that it would one day form the government and take revenge, saying there was no possibility of JD(S) coming to power ever.
Former minister HD Revanna was arrested for allegedly abducting a woman who had accused his son and former Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna of raping her. HD Revanna is the son of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda.
Responding to JD(S) allegations that Revanna’s arrest was unjust, the chief minister said the government neither interfered nor had any scope to interfere in the matter. “Not only Revanna’s case. We don’t interfere in any case,” he said.
Siddaramaiah also asserted that the Congress government acted strictly in accordance with the law and accused the JD(S) of indulging in political rhetoric divorced from reality.
