Stating that there is no black mark in his 40 years of politics, Revanna said," It is malicious. A case was registered against me on April 28. After that a kidnapping case was registered on May 2 without any evidence. This is the biggest political conspiracy in the political history of the state. I have the strength to face this. I have not spoken anything now."
