Restoring the permission accorded to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to carry out raids and investigations in Andhra Pradesh without the permission of the state government, the newly elected Chief Minister of the state, Y S Jaganmohan Reddy has reversed his predecessor N Chandrababu Naidu's orders on the matter, reports The Hindu.
The Andhra Pradesh government under Naidu had in November 2018 withdrawn the general consent, virtually paring down the CBI's powers to investigate in the state. The consent is vital for the CBI given its true jurisdiction is confined to the limits of Delhi and Union Territories under the Delhi Special Police Establishment (DSPE) Act, 1946.
The tweet read, "Chandrababu banned CBI, he prevented IT raids, he questioned how ED comes in the state. Now Jagan has issued orders allowing the CBI into the state. CM made it clear that thieves will not be spared. look out Chandrababu."
After Naidu had withdrawn the general consent to the CBI, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee too had withdrawn the general consent.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
