In Telangana’s Kamareddy region, farmers intensified protest against the industrialisaton proposal, which was joined by Mr. Bandi Sanjay Kumar, the President of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its leaders.
In regard to the Kamareddy protest and bandh, tension intensified in the region, with the involvement of police. It is to be noted, on the 7th of January, Saturday, the police arrested Mr. Bandi Sanjay Kumar and party workers. The arrest was made when they were trying to reach the Collectorate to protest against the new municipality master plan.
The BJP activists tried to prevent the police vehicle carrying Bandi Sanjay and raised slogans against the police and the K. Chandrashekar Rao led Telangana Government. In addition, the BJP workers vandalised the police vehicle and broke the vehicle windows.
Police conducted a lathi charge on the BJP worker and later, against the police, the workers staged a protest demanding to release of Bandi Sanjay.
BJP chief Bandi Sanjay said that they would continue the protest until the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Government withdraws the master plan decision.
In addition, the people of Kamareddy, especially farmers also protest and called for a total bandh. Shops and other commercial establishments in Kamareddy district remain closed on Friday as part of a farmer’s protest.
The local farmers protested against the alleged inclusion of their agricultural lands in an industrial zone that was part of a draft master plan for Kamareddy town. The situation was reportedly under control with security arrangements on a swing.
State BJP president and Lok Sabha MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar and other party leaders also extended their support for the bandh against the master plan.
