Bandi Sanjay’s ouster as Telangana BJP chief part of BJP-BRS agreement: Vijayashanthi

Film actor Vijayashanthi, who quit the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and joined the Congress on Friday, said the BJP lost stakes in Telangana the day Bandi Sanjay was removed as the state party chief as a part of the agreement between the BJP and the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS).
