They took away our party chief forcibly without revealing any reason and not even showing any respect to a public representative, who was elected from Karimnagar parliamentary constituency," Subhash said.Calling Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao 'inhuman', he said the former was not allowing people to attend the last rites of their dead as he was drunk on power. He also demanded the immediate release of the Telangana BJP chief.Telangana BJP president Sanjay was detained post midnight on Wednesday from his residence in Karimnagar ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the state.The police have registered a case under sections 420 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 4(A), 6 T.S.
