BJP Denies Silence on JD(S) Leader's Life Sentence

Union Minister Pralhad Joshi has refuted allegations that the BJP has remained silent on the life imprisonment of former JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna in a rape case. Joshi emphasized that the party has always advocated for justice, asserting that any wrongdoer should be punished accordingly.

Addressing the accusations of silence due to the BJP's alliance with the JD(S), Joshi questioned the need for silence and highlighted the party's consistent communication on the matter. He also criticized Congress leaders, citing instances of heinous crimes by their members.

Prajwal Revanna, the grandson of former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda, was sentenced to life imprisonment in one of the four sexual abuse cases against him. The BJP and JD(S) coalition dynamics highlight the underlying political tensions, especially with BJP's open stance on legal precedent.
