Karimnagar: Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president and MP Sanjay Kumar, after being released from jail, said that after the assembly elections this year, the BJP will unfurl the saffron flag in the state. The BJP Telangana chief was on Friday released from Karimnagar jail after getting bail in the SSC paper leak case. Talking to mediapersons outside the jail, Sanjay criticized the KCR government and challenged the state government to get the SSC paper leak case probed by a sitting judge. He said, “If you have the guts, get the matter probed by the sitting judge.”
Responding to Bharat Rashtra Samithi’s call to protest against the ‘Centre’s alleged privatization efforts’ of Singareni Collieries, Sanjay said, “The state has 51 per cent stake in Singareni, how can the Center privatize with 49 per cent stake?” BJP Will oppose the privatization of Singareni

Singareni has become like an ATM for the KCR family. Knowing that Modi is coming, KCR is plotting to provoke. All Singareni workers know everything.” Sanjay was arrested by the police late on Tuesday night from his Karimnagar residence.

“The court accepted our request and granted bail to prisoner Sanjay on a surety of Rs 20,000. He will be released from Karimnagar Jail on production of the release order,” Shyam Sundar Reddy, advocate for the detainee Sanjay, said on Thursday.
“However, the court put a condition that he cannot leave India without permission,” said the advocate.
In the SSC paper leak case, on Wednesday, Sanjay, along with three others, were sent to judicial custody till April 19. “Detainee Sanjay and 3 others have been sent to judicial custody till April 19 and will be shifted to Karimnagar jail,” said Karuna Sagar, another lawyer for the BJP state chief.
