Former Chief Minister and JD(S) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy sought to target the Congress leaders in the State by making cryptic allegations with regard to the money seized during the recent IT raids in Bengaluru.
Speaking to reporters after offering prayers at Chamundeshwari Temple atop Chamundi Hills in Mysuru on Monday, Mr. Kumaraswamy alleged that a total of ₹100 crore had been seized by the IT sleuths during raid. The money seized on the first day was part of the “SST” collection while the second day’s seizure was “YST” collection, he said cryptically without elaborating.
However, he appeared to be linking the Congress leaders in the State. “This money belongs to the people of the State. It does not belong to any contractor,” he said before claiming that “YST” tax was the collection made during the recent transfer of officials.
