    CBI is now BBI (BJP Bureau of Investigation): Mamata Banerjee

    West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday alleged that the Criminal Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has become the Bharatiya Janata Party's policing agency. The Trinamool Congress chief's remarks come amid the ongoing spat between the two top officers of the agency. "CBI has now become so-called BBI (BJP Bureau of Investigation) - very unfortunate!" Banerjee tweeted today.

    The government interfering in the CBI spat

    The central government has divested CBI Director Alok Verma and Special Director Rakesh Asthana of all powers amid the ongoing spat between them, sources said, calling it the first such case in the history of the agency. The Prime Minister-led Appointments Committee Tuesday night gave charge of the director to Joint Director M Nageshwara Rao with immediate effect, a government order said.

    Government quiet on allegations charged by opposition parties

    According to the law, the CBI director is appointed for a fixed tenure of two years. Earlier, Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala wondered if Verma was "sacked" for his keenness to probe the "layers of corruption" in the Rafale scam and sought an answer from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The government is not commenting on the allegations leveled by the opposition parties.
