Parameshwara may have gifted ₹15-25 lakh to Rao at a wedding: K’taka Dy CM
The ongoing gold smuggling case involving actress Ranya Rao has taken a new turn with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) raiding the premises linked to Karnataka Minister G Parameshwara. The raids have sparked a controversy, with many questioning the minister’s involvement in the case. However, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has come out in support of Parameshwara, calling him a “clean and honest” man.
In a statement, Shivakumar said that Parameshwara might have gifted ₹15-25 lakh to Rao during a family event or marriage, but that doesn’t mean he encouraged her to indulge in illegal activities. This statement has raised eyebrows, with many wondering why Parameshwara would need to gift such a large sum of money to Rao.
For those who may not be aware, Ranya Rao is a Kannada actress who has been accused of being involved in a gold smuggling racket. The ED has been investigating the case and has recovered a large quantity of gold and other valuables from various locations, including Parameshwara’s premises.
The raids on Parameshwara’s premises have sparked a political storm, with the opposition parties demanding his resignation. However, Shivakumar’s statement has defended the minister, saying that he is a honest man who has been unfairly targeted.
Shivakumar’s statement is not the first time that Parameshwara has been accused of wrongdoing. In the past, he has been accused of corruption and misuse of power. However, he has always maintained his innocence and has been cleared of any wrongdoing by the authorities.
Despite the controversy surrounding Parameshwara, Shivakumar’s statement has sparked a debate about the nature of corruption in politics. Many have questioned why a minister would need to gift such a large sum of money to an actress, and what the purpose of the gift was.
Some have argued that the gift could have been a bribe, while others have suggested that it could have been a legitimate donation. However, the fact that the gift was given in such a large sum has raised suspicions, and many are calling for a thorough investigation into the matter.
In response to the controversy, Parameshwara has denied any wrongdoing and has said that he is cooperating fully with the investigation. He has also denied any involvement in the gold smuggling racket, saying that he is a clean and honest man who would never engage in such activities.
The ED has also denied any wrongdoing by Parameshwara, saying that the raids were conducted based on credible information and that the minister’s premises were found to be clean. However, the controversy surrounding the case is likely to continue, and many are calling for a thorough investigation into the matter.
In conclusion, the controversy surrounding Parameshwara’s gift to Ranya Rao has raised questions about the nature of corruption in politics. While Shivakumar’s statement has defended the minister, many are calling for a thorough investigation into the matter. The fact that the gift was given in such a large sum has raised suspicions, and it is clear that the controversy is far from over.
