Hyderabad: President of the Telangana unit of the BJP, Bandi Sanjay, was arrested and his attempts to sit on protest were thwarted by the police on Tuesday.
The development came ahead of his proposed sit-in protest in Jangaon district, against the previous day's police action on his party workers.
After BJP activists stepped in to prevent police from arresting Sanjay this morning, the situation turned tense. However, police deployed in large numbers managed to take the BJP leader away even as his supporters tried to block the path at several points on the route.
Over the last few days, the BJP in Telangana has been targetting TRS leader and daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K. Kavita over her alleged involvement in the liquor policy controversy that has engulfed the AAP government in Delhi.
