NEW DELHI: Four days after getting bail from the Supreme Court in a sedition case, YSRCP rebel MP K R Krishnam Raju made a surprise move by requesting the SC to delete the Andhra Pradesh government and its functionaries as parties to his petition and add the CBI as a new party.
This plea by senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi drew a sharp reaction from AP government’s counsel Dushyant Dave, who said it was unthinkable that when the issues were related to Andhra Pradesh, the petitioner was seeking deletion of the state government from the array of parties in his petition.
