It came after the last government headed by Chandrababu Naidu in November last year revoked its consent to Central Bureau of Investigation to conduct raids without its permission.
The move was then seen as in the wake of the agency losing its credibility. As per the government officials of the Home Ministry of the state, the general consent is given routinely for the period of six months to a year. The last consent was given on August 3, 2018.
General Consent is the periodic approval by the state government to the CBI and other agencies under Delhi Special Police Establishment, 1946.
