Congress leader Rahul Gandhi charged Prime Minister Narendra Modi endorsed an alleged mass rapist like Prajwal Revanna and Modi should apologise for seeking votes for him.
"The biggest issue here is the Revanna case, the person who has mass raped 400 women and he was endorsed by PM Modi. First, Prime Minister Modi should answer and apologize to the women, Rahul Gandhi told ANI.
Campaigning in Shivamogga for the Lok Sabha polls, Rahul Gandhi said, “The PM should also apologise to the mothers and sisters of India. Prajwal Revanna rapes 400 women and makes videos. This is not a sex scandal but mass rape,” the former Congress President alleged.
“The Prime Minister supported the mass rapist on the stage in front of Karnataka. He (Modi) told Karnataka that if you voted for this rapist, it will help me,” Gandhi alleged and added: “Every woman in Karnataka should know when the Prime Minister was asking for your vote, he was aware of what Prajwal did."
Rahul alleged that every BJP leader was aware that Prajwal is a "mass rapist" and yet they supported him and the party formed an alliance with JD(S). “The PM has insulted every woman of India. The PM, Home Minister Amit Shah and all the BJP leaders should apologise to every woman of the country,” he charged, claiming that no leader in the world would have asked for votes for a "mass rapist".
“It is news worldwide that the PM solicited votes for a mass rapist. This is BJP's ideology. They are ready to form alliances and do anything for power,” Gandhi said.
A Special Investigation Team has been formed and a lookout notice has been issued against the disgraced MP at all immigration points across the country. Prajwal, the grandson of former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda, had fled to Germany just after a huge cache of about 3,000 explicit videos and photos featuring him leaked.
