BJP President JP Nadda

TDP chief Naidu meets Amit Shah

According to political grapevine the two sides also discussed Telangana polls in December this year. Although TDP has lost the political space it occupied in Telangana since the bifurcation, the BJP’s local unit may have considered TDP’s support might be beneficial in 25-30 seats.

Unresolved conflict

According to IPS (Cadre) Rules, the central government has the final word in a dispute with a state over the deputation of a police officer to the Centre. Rule 6 (1) is explicit: “In case of any disagreement, the matter shall be decided by the Central Government and the State Government or State Governments concerned shall give effect to the decision of the Central Government.”
