BJP chief suffers heat stress, but presses on
Telangana BJP President Bandi Sanjay Kumar after a medical check-up resumes his padayatra in Narva mandal of Narayanpet district
Doctor advises rest, but says Bandi Sanjay doing well
Narayanpet: On the 11th day of Praja Sangrama Yatra, BJP State president who is on his second leg of padayatra in the erstwhile Mahabubnagar district was affected with a brief illness at Narva mandal in Narayanpet mandal on Sunday.
As soon as Bandi Sanjay complained of uneasiness, he was immediately examined by Dr Sharath, who advised the BJP leader to take some rest from the padayatra; however, the doctor said that there was nothing serious to be worried about the BJP leader's health. He was only affected with sun stroke and was having acidity problem, the doctor said. "We advised brief rest for Bandi Sanjay from his padayatra as he was affected by heat wave and facing Acute Gastroenteritis problems. However, there is no need to worry about his health as he is fine and fit," he observed.
However, Bandi Sanjay got ready to resume the yatra after a brief rest at BJP state leader Madireddy Jalandar Reddy's house and watched PM Narendera Modi's Man Ki Baat programme.
During his padayatra, later, the BJP leader met with people from Boya Valmiki community, who submitted a representation for reservation under ST category. He assured to solve their problem after the BJP came to power.
On the occasion, he reiterated the party position against the religion-based reservation and stressed that reservations should be implemented only to those who are economically weak and cannot get opportunities due to suppression of their communities for centuries.
"Wherever we are going we are meeting Valmiki Boya, Madasi Kurava, Mudiraj and Vishwakarma community persons and we will definitely resolve their issues if BJP comes to power in the state. During the past 8 years KCR has turned a blind eye to resolving the issues of the poor and downtrodden.
He has forgotten his poll promises and is behaving like a dictator, ignoring the plight of the poor and downtrodden in the state," charged Bandi Sanjay.
