Hours before polling for municipal elections in Greater Hyderabad, Telangana BJP President Bandi Sanjay Kumar’s car was allegedly attacked by some unknown persons on Necklace Road in Hyderabad. The incident, which caused damage to the windowpanes of Kumar's vehicle triggered tension at People’s Plaza on the banks of Hussain Sagar lake. Scores of BJP leaders launched a protest and demanded action against the attackers. The saffron party members alleged that goons from the opposition MIM and TRS "attempted to murder" Bandi Sanjay Kumar when he was out for an evening walk. The protesters raised slogans against the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and refused to leave the incident spot, but the Hyderabad police pacified and dispersed them. Moreover, the police denied reports of an attempt to murder the BJP's Telangana Unit President. Meanwhile, Union Minister of State for Home, G Kishan Reddy, condemned the attack on Kumar and demanded action against those involved.
