"If you give your mobile to the SIT, Pratap Simha will end up like Prajwal," says Congress leader Lakshman M.

He emphasized that Siddaramaiah has contributed numerous initiatives to Mysuru's growth. Therefore, Lakshman advised that one should think carefully before criticizing Siddaramaiah. In a sharp attack on former MP Pratap Simha, Lakshman warned, "If your mobile contains anything incriminating and is handed over to the SIT, there’s a 100% chance that, like Prajwal Revanna, you will also land in jail."
