CM speaks on his alleged property in the US, rubbishes owning 5 houses in US
Taking strong exception to RTI activist and KMSS leader Akhil Gogoi’s claim that Tarun Gogoi's wife, daughter and son-in-law owned five houses in the US, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi Monday, while addressing the press, said he will file defamation and criminal cases against Akhil Gogoi. Akhil Gogoi Saturday had shown photographs of some properties before the press which he claimed to be of the CM’s.Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS) leader Akhil Gogoi had alleged that Gogoi's wife Dolly, their daughter and son-in-law acquired five houses in the US valued at Rs 17.18 crore with public money. When asked about those photographs Tarun Gogoi said, "In forty years of my political career, there has never been such baseless allegation against me. One of the photos is of my son-in-law's hostel building in Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in USA where he studied. The rest are photos of houses he had rented there." Tarun Gogoi said, "My wife and daughter are not in politics. Why is Akhil dragging in their names? My wife can never own a house in the US as Indians are not allowed to buy property there. For this crime she will go to jail." _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
