Speaking to the reporters, Ravi said, ” There are several cases against me for protesting on the basis of ideological differences. But I was never jailed for indulging in corruption or rowdy activities.DK Shivakumar had proudly claimed himself to be ‘shishya’ of Kotwal Ramachandra (notorious Bengaluru don). There is a book containing the names of Kotwal Ramachandra’s ardent followers, my name is not there in the list as I never considered goondaism as a merit for politics. Also, Kotwal died when I was in primary school.”
