Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay held for trying to lay siege to command control centre

Hyderabad: BJP chief Bandi Sanjay arrested on Monday for trying to lay siege to corona command control centre in Koti. Other leaders who accompanied Bandi Sanjay were also detained.

Bandi Sanjay demanded to include coronavirus treatment in Aarogyasri and increase the number of corona tests in the state. He also demanded to fill up the vacancies in the health department.

Speaking to media, Bandi Sanjay said that they have called for state-wide protests to get their demands fulfilled. He also asked the government to compare the number of tests being done in Telangana and other states. "Although the doctors are ready to provide their services, they lacked the COVID-19 essential needs such as masks and PPE kits," he said.

Further, he also asked the government to release a white paper on the centre's support to the state. "The government also failed to conduct coronavirus tests. While the BJP-ruled states conducting lakhs of coronavirus tests, the Telangana government is failing to conduct the tests in thousands," he said.
