DK Shivakumar rubbishes BJP leader Gowde's claim that he was involved in circulating abuse videos made by Prajwal Revanna
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, 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.»
