Defying the Election Commission of India, the Andhra Pradesh government on Wednesday cancelled its earlier order transferring Director General (DG), Intelligence, A B Venkateswara Rao. Within 24 hours of an order transferring three officials including the DG, Intelligence, on the direction of the Election Commission, the state government issued two fresh orders on Wednesday.


The orders were issued even as Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu shot off a letter to the Election Commission, protesting the manner in which the transfer of three officials was ordered.
