Bengaluru, September 9: “I’m ready to cooperate for any investigation. I have not done anything wrong. I am not a criminal”, said Minister D.K Shivakumar.

Speaking to media persons at his house here on Sunday, Shivakumar said that “I have not done anything wrong. I am not a criminal. I don’t have any fear on Enforcement Directorate. I know what’s going on. I will not say anything now. When time comes, I will disclose everything”, he said.

No ill-gotten property

He has never received any notice on FIR registered against him by the ED. He would not fear if the ED registered an FIR against him. Rather he would fight legally. “I have not made any ill-gotten property. I have given information on all properties. It is true that I have two flats in New Delhi. I have not hid that issue”, he said.

'Politics is not a football game. It’s a chess game. I know how to play. Let them do whatever they want. I won’t fear. God is there and He will see everything'.
