Karnataka Minister Laxmi Hebbalkar launched an all-out attack on the BJP for being in alliance with the JD(S) in Karnataka for the Lok Sabha elections 2024. Laxmi Hebbalkar accused Home Minister Amit Shah of being aware of the alleged obscene videos of Hassan MP and Janata Dal (Secular) candidate from the seat, Prajwal Revanna. Revanna is the grandson of JDS chief and former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has ordered the formation of a special investigation team to probe the allegation. Meanwhile, the BJP distanced itself from alleged sex tapes on April 28 and said "We've nothing to do with it".
