Earlier AAP had targeted PM Modi for giving Revanna a NDA Lok sabha ticket and campaigning for him. The party has also accused the BJP of “colluding” with Revanna in getting him flee to Germany on a diplomatic passport.
Revanna, is accused of sexual harrasment and rape charges and recording nearly 3,000 obscene videos of women.
Earlier on Monday, a ‘meme row’ erupted on social media with PM Modi himself getting involved.
Kolkata Police took action against a user who had posted a meme of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on the X platform.
The meme featured an animated version of the Chief Minister dancing in front of a crowd, at a concert resembling a stage.
Hours later, Prime Minister Modi, in a veiled jibe at CM Mamata, reposted a meme of him dancing and appreciated the creativity peaking in the poll season.
“Like all of you, I also enjoyed seeing myself dance. Such creativity in peak poll season is truly a delight!” PM Modi posted followed by laughter emojis.
Revanna is the incumbent MP from the Hassan constituency. He is seeking re-election as an NDA candidate from the same seat. Polling on the seat was completed on April 26.
HD Revanna and his son, Prajwal Revanna are facing a probe by a Special Investigative Team (SIT), constituted by the Karnataka government, over allegations of sexual harassment and criminal intimidation following a complaint by a woman who worked in their household.
HD Revanna is under Special Investigation Team (SIT) custody till May 8 in kidnapping case linked to the “obscene video case”, while Prajwal Revanna has fled to another country. (ANI)
