This comes after hours of Chandrababu Naidu’s tour in Delhi where he met the President, Prime Minister and the Home Minister regarding this issue and demanded a probe. If Telangana government soils its hands in this case, then Center may impose Section 8 of Reorganization Act which gives Governor the responsibilities of the Law and Order in the common capital.

Phone Tapping Cases are usually very serious. In 1988, Karnataka Chief Minister Ramakrishna Hegde was forced to resign over the allegations of phone tapping on opposition parties and businessmen in the state. This case is proven can be even dangerous as tapping the phones of other state Chief Minister is not easily acceptable.
