Hyderabad/IBNS: Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)s president Sanjay Kumar was detained by police last night days ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modis visit to the state, media reports said.
The BJP has moved the Telangana High Court alleging Kumar was arrested illegally and without any valid reason.
Fear is real in BRS.!
First they stop me from conducting press meet now arrest me late in night.
My only mistake is to Question BRS govt on its wrong doings.
Do not stop questioning BRS even if I am jailed.
