Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal backed the Chandrababu Naidu government in Andhra Pradesh on barring the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) from conducting raids in the state.
He tweeted in Hindi,“Chandrababu has done the right thing. Modi is misusing the CBI and Income Tax Department. Why the CBI has not caught those behind the scams of demonetization, Vijay Mallya, Rafale, Sahara Birla Diaries etc?”
He further advised Naidu “to not allow the Income Tax Department in the state”.
Andhra Pradesh government on Friday issued the orders withdrawing ‘general consent’ to CBI officers to exercise jurisdiction in the state and barred CBI from conducting raids or carrying out investigations in the state without state government’s permission.
