Karnataka: IT complaint filed against former CM HD Kumaraswamy
The complaint accepted by the IT department has accused the former CM, along with his family, of indulging in money laundering not just in India but abroad as well.
A complaint has been filed with the Income Tax (IT) Department's investigations wing against former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy. The complaint has been filed by S Venkatesh Gowda, who claimed to be a worker of the Indian National Congress. This is in relation to a money laundering case against Kumaraswamy.
The complaint accepted by the department has accused the former CM, along with his family, of indulging in money laundering not just in India but abroad as well.
In response to these allegations, Kumaraswamy has hit out at the BJP saying, "I know where this letter was typed and by whom was it sent."
The former CM told India Today that G Parameshwara, President, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) denied knowing anybody by the name of Venkatesh Gowda. He went on to add that this was done by the BJP to destroy his image since the voters have decided to vote for him.
HDK took a swipe at the BJP saying, "For this election I need money and hence I am requesting them to please use my property information and give me Rs 300-400 crores."
