Mangaluru (Karnataka) [India], April 24 (ANI): The Income Tax Department on Monday conducted raids at two residential premises of Karnataka Congress leader Gangadhar Gowda and an educational institution in Belthangady of Karnataka's Dakshina Kannada.
The education institution belongs to Gangadhar Gowda's son Ranjan Gowda.
Gowda had quit the BJP and joined Congress in 2018. He recently announced withdrawal from politics following the denial of a ticket for the Karnataka Assembly polls.
