In the eyes of many in Hassan, Prajwal Revanna’s ascent to political power was marked by a sense of entitlement and privilege, fueled by his family’s longstanding influence in the region. Critics argue that his rapid political rise, facilitated by familial connections rather than merit, led to a disconnect between his responsibilities as an elected representative and his actions. Despite being entrusted with the role of a parliamentarian, Revanna purportedly neglected constituency development and instead indulged in alleged criminal behavior, shielded by the family’s political clout.
His upbringing in an environment of unchecked authority, coupled with a perceived lack of accountability, is seen as a contributing factor to his alleged misconduct. Furthermore, the prevailing culture of deference to the Deve Gowda family’s name and power dynamics within the region exacerbated the perception of immunity to consequences. As scrutiny mounts and accusations surface, the case highlights broader issues of political nepotism and the repercussions of unchecked privilege in public office.
