BUREAUCRACY
New CBI chief not relieved yet, confrontation between state and the center?
The Director General of Police (DGP), Karnataka Praveen Sood was appointed as the new Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) chief on May 12 but the state has not relieved him yet. According to sources, it could be a matter of confrontation between center and the state. Sood was chosen by a panel headed by the Prime Minister for next two years. Sood has an old enmity with a senior Congress leader. Before the Assembly poll results, the Congress leader had warned action against Sood, once his party comes to power. The two also had war of words on a few occasions, which deepened the rift. If he is not relieved today than West Bengal like situation will arise.
