Hyderabad: At a rally spearheaded by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president Bandi Sanjay Kumar at Vemula village in Jogulamba Gadwal district on Monday, tensions prevailed as Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) workers allegedly tried to block the padayatra.
Bandi Sanjay was addressing a gathering in Vemula village in Itikyal Mandal on Monday morning. Siasat.com spoke to Gadwal Sub Inspector K Gokari who said that when Bandi Sanjay presumed his yatra, some TRS workers blocked his way and started questioning him about petrol and diesel price hike.
“They were protesting Sanjay’s critical statements against the ruling TRS and its leaders. Suddenly the two groups came close to blows,” he said, adding some vehicles were damaged.
However, the situation quickly came under control as police who were keeping a watchful eye prevented it. The yatra was then resumed.
Later, Bandi Sanjay posted pictures of the damaged vehicles on his Twitter account allegedly blaming TRS. Posting pictures of damaged vehicles, he wrote, “Stone pelting & damaging vehicles by TRS goons at #PrajaSangramaYatra2 today speaks a lot about sad state of affairs in #Telangana. Plight of common man can be understood, as an MP is not safe from mob. Stone-pelters will be greeted with bulldozers once @BJP4Telangana forms govt”
Speaking on the incident, IT Minister KT Rama Rao has denied Sanjay Bandi’s allegation that TRS workers blocked his yatra.
