Telangana: The Telangana administration yesterday notified the high court that it has revoked the general authorization provided to the CBI to investigate cases in the state, days after accusing the BJP of an unsuccessful poaching attempt.
This occurs just days after Gujjula Premendar Reddy, the state general secretary of the BJP, asked the Telangana High Court to order a CBI investigation into claims that some men connected to his party attempted to snatch TRS MLAs for themselves.
He argued in court that KCR’s party was involved in a plot to discredit the BJP and demanded that the case be investigated by a “neutral agency,” such as the CBI or a Special Investigation Team (SIT) appointed by the court.

The TRS was accused by the party leaders of producing a play that was “written, directed, and staged” by the Chief Minister.
The Additional Advocate General (AAG) informed the high court during the hearing of Gujjula Premendar Reddy’s petition yesterday that the state government had revoked all prior general consents given to the central investigative agency in August itself.
The police claimed that three individuals were arrested earlier this week at a farmhouse outside of Hyderabad while they were allegedly bribing four TRS MLAs to defect to the BJP.
Police asserted that one of the MLAs, Pilot Rohit Reddy, who is the owner of the farmhouse, informed them about the “agreement.” Following the filing of a First Information Report, or FIR, in response to Mr. Reddy’s allegation.
Following Mr. Reddy’s complaint that four MLAs were offered 250 crore, a First Information Report, or FIR, was filed.
Telangana police chief Stephen Raveendra told NDTV that the MLAs reported to the police that they were being “lured and bribed to change parties.” He stated, “they claimed they were promised large sums of money, contracts, and offices to switch parties”.
According to the FIR filed by Rohit Reddy, if they didn’t join the BJP, “there will be criminal charges and searches by ED (Enforcement Directorate)/CBI and the Telangana Government led by TRS party will be overthrown.”
Nitish Kumar, the chief minister of Bihar, was by Mr. Rao’s side when he said in August that other state governments should revoke their support for the CBI.

“The BJP-controlled centre is abusing all of its investigative tools, including the CBI, to go after its political foes. This needs to end immediately, and all state governments should quit giving the CBI their permission “He had said.
The CBI requires permission from the relevant state governments in order to undertake investigations within their borders, as stated in Section 6 of the Delhi Special Police Establishment.
