Chiru says my tax info not for all:

The Income-Tax department in Chennai turned down ex-MLA and former APSRTC chairman, Mr Gone Prakash Rao’s request for income tax details of Praja Rajyam chief, Chiranjeevi.

Mr Prakash Rao filed a request under the Right to Information Act to the deputy commissioner of I-T, Chennai. The commissioner asked Chiranjeevi if he had any objections. Chiranjeevi wrote back saying he “strongly objected” to the request. It further said: “The information is confidential. Chiranjeevi objected as it amounts to invasion of privacy. In view of this the information is rejected.” Mr Rao mentioned in his application that Chiranjeevi told a meeting that his income was an open book which could be accessed by anyone.
