BJP Telangana unit president Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Friday resumed his third phase of padayatra christened ‘Praja Sangrama Yatra’ at Uppugal in Zaffergadh mandal, close to Pamnoor, where it had come to an abrupt halt with the police taking him into preventive custody in Jangaon district on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, Mr. Sanjay was arrested under Section 151 of Cr. PC at Pamnoor when he tried to stage a deeksha in protest against alleged illegal arrest of the BJP cadre during a demonstration in front of the TRS MLC Kavitha’s residence in Hyderabad on Monday.
Amid intense protests by party cadre, Mr. Sanjay was shifted to his residence in Karimnagar the same day.
