Telangana Police detains state BJP chief Bandi Sanjay ahead of PM Modi’s visit

Telangana BJP president and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar was detained after midnight on Wednesday from his residence in Karimnagar ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the state.

Reportedly, a team of police reached the MP’s residence in Karimnagar and took him into custody, reported news agency ANI.

BJP State General Secretary Premender Reddy said, “BJP state president Bandi Sanjay was detained by police past midnight. He has been held from his residence in Karimnagar illegally.”

“They should have initiated any legal process in the morning, where would Bandi Sanjay go? This is nothing but to disturb PM Modi’s programme in Telangana,” Reddy alleged.

This comes when Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit the state on April 8. The prime minister will visit Telangana to inaugurate Vande Bharat Express train from Secunderabad to Tirupati.

He will also launch various other developmental projects.
