Bengaluru, May 12: BJP leader and former chief minister Basavaraj Bommai has demanded a CBI probe in the Hassan sex scandal against JDS MP Prajwal Revanna as the SIT investigation ordered by the Congress government was going off track and not in the right direction.

Speaking to media persons in his residence in Bengaluru on Sunday, he declared that he or his party were not defending and justifying the actions of Prajwal Revanna as sex abuses against women can never be condoned.

He, however, claimed that the SIT probe is not going in right direction and the informants are being arrested instead of the accused.

Bommai said a fair and impartial investigation is the need of the hour.
The BJP leader said Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar's role in Prajwal Revanna's Pen Drive case must also be probed.

All those whose names figure in connection with Prajwal Revanna's case must be subjected to investigation. For this reason, the case must be referred to the CBI, he said.

Bommai dismissed the reported dissatisfaction within the BJP over the announcement of the candidates for the Legislative Council election and said there were lot of aspirants and they would be upset naturally if they missed the tickets.

But everything would be sorted out as all aspirants cannot be accommodated in granting tickets. The decision taken by the national leaders was final and there would be no change.

Wishes speedy recovery for SMK

Earlier, he and Opposition in the state Legislative Assembly R.Ashok visited Manipal hospital where the former CM S.M.Krishna is being treated.

The health of Krishna has sunk in the last two days and they have wished for his speedy recovery.
