After withdrawing "general consent" to the Central Bureau of Investigation to probe cases in the state, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Nadu on Saturday, 17 November, said that the CBI is corrupt and is facing internal strife.
The Andhra CM made the remarks in the wake of infighting between the top two officials of the central agency.
Speaking to reporters, Naidu said, "The issue is now in the Supreme Court. Let them solve it."
According to The Times of India, Naidu said that Andhra Pradesh in the third-lowest corrupt state in India, and doesn't require inspection from "corrupt CBI".
"We gave consent to the CBI to take up cases in our state. We have now withdrawn the consent as the CBI itself is accused of corruption," the chief minister was quoted as saying.
