'S*x scandal' has become an election issue even before Prajwal Revanna...
Amidst the lok sabha elections 2024, the case of Karnataka's JDS (Janata Dal Secular) leader Prajwal Revanna remains in the news. Revanna has been accused of sexually exploiting hundreds of women. He is the JDS candidate from Hassan seat and voting has already taken place here. However, JDS may have to suffer losses in other seats. Voting will be held on 14 lok sabha seats in the state on May 7 and the Revanna issue can have a big impact here.
In Karnataka, JD(S) is part of the Bharatiya Janata Party-led nda alliance. In such a situation, the opposition parties are also targeting the ruling party on this issue. The nda alliance may suffer losses in other states also due to this. However, this is not the first case when a 'sex scandal' has affected politics. In 1978, bjp leader Maneka Gandhi's magazine had ended Babu Jagjivanram's politics by revealing a similar case. Had this not happened, he could have become the first Dalit prime minister of the country.
Son broke father's dream of becoming PM
When Janata party came to power in 1977, morarji desai, Chaudhary charan singh and Jagjivan ram were contenders to become Prime Minister. morarji desai sat on the PM's chair. Jagjivan ram became the Defense minister and Chaudhary charan singh became the home Minister. However, the path to becoming PM was also open for Jagjivan ram and Chaudhary Charan Singh. Chaudhary Charan Singh's dream was fulfilled in 1987, but his son's 'sex scandal' broke Jagjivan Ram's dream.
