Hubballi, April 30 (Reporter) In a shocking turn of events, Karnataka's political landscape was rocked by allegations implicating Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar in a scandal involving purported sex clips. Former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy dropped the bombshell accusations on Tuesday, claiming that Shivakumar orchestrated the controversy to target Prajwal Revanna, an NDA candidate from the Hassan parliamentary constituency.

Despite the lack of concrete evidence directly implicating Prajwal, Kumaraswamy emphasised the need for action on moral grounds, highlighting the seriousness within political circles. "What concrete evidence exists? Can Prajwal be positively identified in these videos? Nevertheless, we are committed to taking necessary action based on ethical principles," the former CM affirmed, just hours prior to the JD(S) core committee gathering in Hubbal;i. The unfolding drama drew the attention of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who weighed in on the scandal, expressing the BJP's stance.
