The YSR Congress party plans to escalate the matter to New Delhi after discovering a reference to the FBI in an official order issued by the Andhra Pradesh Police. The reference, which has raised questions among party members and observers, prompted the opposition party to decide on seeking clarification from central authorities regarding how and why the American federal agency was mentioned in a state police communication.
Former chief minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy announced the party's decision to approach the centre and demand an explanation from relevant government departments. The move reflects the party's concern over what it views as an anomalous reference in official police documentation, which typically handles matters falling under Indian law enforcement jurisdiction.
The development comes amid ongoing political tensions in Andhra Pradesh, where the YSR Congress remains a significant opposition force. The party's decision to escalate the issue to the centre indicates its intention to scrutinize the police order through formal channels and determine whether any procedural irregularities or administrative oversights led to the FBI reference appearing in state police communications.
