After the better-halves of H N Ananth Kumar and H D Kumaraswamy, it is the wife of H T Sangliana who has emerged richer than her husband.
According to the assets declared by Sangliana while filing nominations as Congress candidate from Bangalore Central on Friday, his wife C Rothangpull owns property worth Rs 2.14 crore while his property amounts to Rs 40.61 lakh. That means his wife is about five times richer than him. This former Bangalore city police commissioner's assets include Rs 2,61,447 cash, 3.10 acres land worth Rs 3 lakh in Churachandpur, Manipur; a flat worth Rs 35 lakh in Koramangala. His wife owns jewellery worth R 2.8 lakh, two acres of land worth Rs 10 lakh near Gangenahalli and a house worth Rs 2 crore in Indiranagar. Most politicians flaunt luxury cars but Sangliana owns a third-hand Maruti 1000 car (1994 model).

After filing nominations, he asked people to vote for him as his poll rivals - BJP candidate P C Mohan and JDS contestant Zameer Ahmed Khan - were corrupt and he was the only genuine clean candidate.
