Protest rallies across Telangana 

In Nizamabad, the police took over 100 BJP and Bajrang Dal activists into preventive custody for trying to chant the “Hanuman Chalisa” in front of the district Congress party office.

In Khammam, a large number of Congress followers assembled at the party office when they came to know that the BJP leaders were thronging to protest against the manifesto. A heated argument took place between the BJP and Congress activists over the issue.

The timely action taken by the police prevented a major scuffle at the Congress office. A group of Bajrang Dal activists gathered in front of the house of Congress MLC G Jeevan Reddy in Jagtial and raised slogans criticising the Congress’s decision to ban Bajrang Dal.

The Congress must tender an unconditional apology to the people in the country, the BJP demanded.
