Tarun Gogoi's claims are believable in this context, except that he is wrong about the assertion that foreigners cannot own houses in the USA.
See: http://legaladvices.info/how-to-buy-a-house-in-the-us-if-you-are-not-a-legal-resident/ That does not necessarily mean that Gogoi or his wife own houses in the USA. But they can if they wish to. The only way a suspicion could be raised about the house ownership of the daughter and son-in-law's house is IF it was purchased with CASH, as opposed to a bank loan, which they are obviously eminently capable of getting on their own right. cm On Jan 10, 2011, at 10:01 PM, Babul Gogoi wrote: > 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.
