‘Centre not using its instrumentalities judiciously’: Siddaramaiah govt withdraws consent to CBI to probe cases in Karnataka amid BJP heat over Muda case

The Congress-led Karnataka government has rescinded general consent for CBI investigations against central government staff, citing agency bias. This decision comes amid BJP’s demand for a probe into a land-allotment case involving the chief minister’s wife. Karnataka now joins other non-BJP states in requiring court orders for new CBI investigations.
