Many BJP workers gathered around the police station and protested his detention and raised slogans against Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. They demanded to release Sanjay. They also said that it was a conspiracy by the Telangana government because the BRS party wanted to cover up their failures regarding school and job examinations.
