Chandrababu Naidu Takes Away CBI Free Pass In Andhra Pradesh
The CBI cannot conduct raids or investigations in Andhra Pradesh without permission, the state's Chandrababu Naidu government has said, setting up a new point of conflict with the centre. The state government has withdrawn "general consent" to the CBI or Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to operate in Andhra Pradesh. Rules for the country's top investigating agency say it has complete jurisdiction over Delhi but can enter other states with the "general consent" of their government. That permission has been withdrawn now, said a ruling party leader, so the CBI cannot "interfere" in any case in Andhra Pradesh.
