Karimnagar: Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar, after getting released from jail, said that BJP would hoist the saffron flag in the state after assembly elections this year. The BJP Telangana chief was released from Karimnagar jail on Friday after he was granted bail in the SSC paper leak case. Talking to the media persons outside the jail, Sanjay slammed the KCR Government and challenged the state government to investigate the SSC paper leak matter with a sitting judge. "If you have the guts, investigate the matter with the sitting judge," he said.

Reacting to Bharat Rashtra Samithi`s calls for protest against `Centre`s alleged attempts to privatise` Singareni Collieries Sanjay said, "51 per cent share in Singareni belongs to the state, How can the centre with 49 per cent share privatize? BJP will oppose the privatization of Singareni.

Singareni has become like an ATM for the KCR family. Knowing that Modi is coming, KCR is conspiring to provoke. All Singareni workers know everything." Sanjay was arrested by police late on Tuesday night from his Karimnagar residence. Later on Thursday, he was granted bail by a magistrate court in the paper leak case.
