Misuse of power, situation worse than Emergency: Former PM Devegowda on CBI face off

Reacting to the recent CBI face off in Kolkata which led to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee sitting on ‘Save the Constitution’ dharna, former prime minister H.D. Devegowda said the CBI’s presence at Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar’s residence was a “misuse” of its powers, and termed the scenario “much worse than Emergency”. “CBI went to arrest Kolkata Police Commissioner y'day, this is a misuse of CBI. It is much worse than Emergency. The way the events have unfolded (in West Bengal) since last night shows the PM has overacted by using the CBI. This won't help him,” Devegowda told ANI.
