HASSAN: Taking exception to the recent statement of Mandya MP Sumalatha, who had lauded Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna’s conduct while comparing him with his uncle HD Kumaraswamy, former minister HD Revanna said on Thursday that the HD Deve Gowda family is united and no one can create a divide.
“It is impossible till JDS supremo Deve Gowda is alive,” he added. Addressing a press conference here, Revanna said that
Sumalata should not have dragged in Prajwal’s name in her war of words with Kumaraswamy on the KRS dam issue. “No one can create a divide among our family members by airing such political statements,” he said. Revanna said the Mandya MP can seek a probe into the alleged issue instead try to tarnish the image of Gowda family.
