[Assam] CM speaks on his alleged property in the US, rubbishes owning 5 houses in US

[Chan Mahanta]

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:

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.
