BJP leader Devaraje Gowda says there was a "misunderstanding" that led to Prajwal Revanna becoming a candidate for the JD(S)-BJP alliance in Karnataka's Hassan district. This comes after Revanna faced allegations of sexual abuse and was suspended from the JD(S). Gowda claims he warned the BJP about Revanna's candidacy last year due to allegations of harassment. He says there was a "communication gap" within the alliance, as despite being aware of the allegations, JD(S) still nominated Revanna. This controversy adds tension to the upcoming elections.
