Early life and backgroundPrajwal Revanna was born on 5 August 1990 in Hassan, Karnataka. Raised in a family with deep political roots, he is the grandson of H. D. Deve Gowda and the son of H. D. Revanna and Bhavani Revanna. His upbringing took place in Hassan, and he completed a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) from Bengaluru Institute of Technology. He later went to Australia to pursue an MTech but did not complete that program, returning to India to take part in his family’s political activities.
Career
Prajwal entered formal politics as a member of Janata Dal (Secular). He joined the party in 2015 and became active in the party’s work in Karnataka. In the 2019 general elections he contested the Hassan Lok Sabha constituency and was elected to Parliament, taking a seat that had been long associated with his grandfather. Later that year, on 27 November 2019, he was appointed a state general secretary of JD(S).
Legal and electoral developments have shaped his political trajectory. In 2023, the Karnataka High Court disqualified him as the Member of Parliament for Hassan after finding irregularities in the affidavit he had submitted in the 2019 nomination process. The court’s findings cited incorrect or incomplete disclosures relating to assets, bank balances, loans, campaign spending and pending litigation, and it directed the Election Commission to take action under the applicable rules. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections he contested the Hassan seat again but lost by a margin of 42,649 votes.
Public profile
Prajwal’s family connections and rapid rise in the regional party have kept him in the public eye. His grandfather founded JD(S), his uncle H. D. Kumaraswamy has led the state unit and served as chief minister, and his father has held ministerial office. His brother Suraj Revanna has also entered politics, becoming a Member of the Karnataka Legislative Council.
Prajwal has been associated with a number of controversies that have attracted media and legal attention. In 2017 he publicly criticised ticket distribution within JD(S), a comment that prompted a party reprimand. In 2019 a police complaint alleged he sought votes in the name of caste after speeches during the campaign period. The 2023 High Court decision nullifying his election centered on alleged misstatements and omissions in his election paperwork and questions about campaign expenditures and support from family members.
In April 2024 he was named in criminal complaints connected to alleged sexual misconduct; these matters prompted a special investigation, his suspension from the party, and subsequent legal action. Reports indicate he left the country for a period and later returned; on arrival he was taken into custody for questioning by investigative authorities. His bail applications in related proceedings were rejected at both the Karnataka High Court and the Supreme Court.
Latest updates
After losing the Hassan seat in the 2024 parliamentary poll and following the series of legal cases that began with the High Court’s 2023 election-disqualification ruling, Prajwal has remained a figure of active legal and political interest. His party affiliation remains with Janata Dal (Secular); developments related to the criminal investigations and electoral rulings continue to shape his public standing.
Personal details and public image
Prajwal is unmarried and is identified with the Vokkaliga community in Karnataka. He is listed at approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall and has black hair and black eyes. Public records and affidavits filed during his political career include detailed listings of movable and immovable assets from the 2018–2019 period, and an estimated net worth figure as declared in 2019 is recorded in those filings.
Prajwal’s political rise followed active involvement in election work for family members before contesting his own seat. His brief time studying abroad, return to assist his family’s campaigns, and rapid elevation within JD(S) have been notable aspects of his background and early public life.
