Former Minister and JD(S) leader H.D. Revanna has expressed anger over the Income Tax Department’s notice to his mother Chennamma Deve Gowda, who is the wife of former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda.
“Have my parents made crores of rupees? Have we purchased any new property? Why is one political party being targeted,” he asked at a media conference in Hassan on March 28.
Mr. Revanna said his family owns land in Doddapura and Paduvalahippe in Hassan district. “We grow sugarcane. Let the officers conduct a drone survey of the land. Let them send a notice to me as well. We will submit our response as per the law,” he said.
Further alleging that the family was being targeted for political reasons, Mr. Revanna said people who looted hundreds of crores of rupees while serving in the RTO have joined politics after resigning from their jobs. “Why such people do not get notices from I-T? Why only one party is being targeted? This will not last long,” he said.
