Karimnagar: BJP State president and local MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar was arrested for violating Covid norms here on Sunday.

Following Centre’s directive, the State government has banned rallies, public and religious meetings following the rise in Covid cases in the State. Ignoring the orders, the BJP leader had launched Jagarana Diksha at 7.30 pm on Sunday demanding that the State government make changes to GO 317 and do justice to teachers and employees.

Several attempts of the police to convince the MP to call off his protest failed following which he was arrested. Earlier mild tension prevailed at Sanjay Kumar’s camp office when the police tried to disperse the BJP activists who gathered for the Jagarana Diksha.

The BJP workers entered into an argument with the police for forcing them to vacate the spot on the pretext of Covid protocol. Anticipating a large number of people including teachers, employees and party workers gathering at his residence, the police issued notices asking the MP to cancel his diksha in the wake of rise in Covid cases.
