Meeting at PM Modi's residence today to select next CBI chief
A Collegium comprising the Prime Minister, Chief Justice of India HL Dattu and the leader of the largest Opposition party in Parliament which is Congress will meet for the first time ever for bipartisan selection of the next CBI chief, media reports said.
Leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge is expected to represent the Opposition in the meeting.
