TSPSC paper leak: Police arrest BJP president Bandi Sanjay for trying to enter TSPSC office

HYDERABAD: Telangana BJP state president Bandi Sanjay, who staged a sit-in protest at Gun Park in Hyderabad demanding an inquiry into the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) paper leakage issue, was arrested by police at Assembly when the former tried to enter the TSPSC office, defying the police restrictions.

Earlier, the Karimnagar MP, along with BJP activists in large numbers, left the BJP State Office on a padayatra and reached Gun Park to stage a protest demanding an inquiry into the TSPSC paper leakage incident by the sitting judge.

Bandi Sanjay, who was accompanied by former MP Boora Narsaiah Goud, former MLAs Koona Srisailam Goud, Nandiswar Goud, party state vice-presidents G. Manohar Reddy, vice-presidents Kasam Venkateshwarlu, Mahila Morcha state president Geetha Murthy, paid tributes to martyrs and started protest amidst activists chanting slogans.

Speaking on the occasion, Bandi Sanjay fumed at Chief Ministers KCR alleging that the government was hurting the aspirations of martyrs by stopping the recruitments by citing TSPSC paper leakage as an excuse.

However, the police troops were deployed in large numbers at Gun Park to disrupt the protest and requested Bandi Sanjay to leave the venue citing traffic problems. As the BJP president didn't heed to police and tried to enter the TSPSC office, the police arrested him. Meanwhile, the BJP activists went on raising slogans against the government over the arrest of Bandi Sanjay.

On the other hand, ABVP leaders laid siege to the Hyderabad collector's office to protest against TSPSC paper leakage and were arrested by police and shifted to Bollarum police station. The ABVP leader Suresh Kamal spoke on the occasion and demanded the resignation of Chief Minister KCR taking moral responsibility for the TSPSC paper leakage issue and termination of secretaries and chairman of TSPSC.

Meanwhile, the YSR Telangana Party president YS Sharimila demanded a CBI inquiry into the paper leakage issue and levelled allegations against the TSPSC and Telangana government. Expressing doubts over BRS leaders and public service commission staff for the leakage of question papers, YS Sharmila questioned how the passwords of the system were leaked. She said there was a conspiracy in the matter concerned and asserted that the unemployed youth had lost the confidence in the commission.

YS Sharmila said that the government should be ashamed of it. She said KCR had focused on his daughter Kavitha's cases, leaving the unemployed youth in dire straits.
