Siddaramaiah on Income Tax raids 

Former Chief Minister of Karnataka and the newly appointed leader of Opposition, Siddaramaiah in a tweet, called the raids 'politically motivated.' He claimed that only Karnataka Congress leaders are being attacked as the government has 'failed to face' on policy and corruption issues.

The series of IT raids on @DrParameshwara, RL Jalappa & others, are politically motivated with malafide intention. They are only targeting @INCKarnataka leaders as they have failed to face us on policy & corruption issues.

We won't budge to any such tactics!!
