Hyderabad: The BJP national general secretary Bandi Sanjay made a controversial remark on Tuesday during the BJP’s rally held in Adilabad. The Karimnagar MP said that people who attacked Hindus in Bhainsa would be beaten and chased down the streets if BJP in Telangana comes to power, reports The News Minute.

Addressing the gathering at the Jana Garjana Sabha, the MP said, “Modi’s rule must come in Telangana, so that those who attacked Hindu society and created destruction in Bhainsa, and the people from AIMIM who raped minors, are stripped and chased down the streets.”

He added, “Those who are hoisting Pakistan flags instead of chanting Bharat Mata ki Jai should be killed in encounters and buried in Pakistan.”

The controversial remarks by the MP goes against the Model Code of Conduct, which states that “there shall be no appeal to caste or communal feelings for securing votes…”

He further referred to Adilabad as ‘Hindutva adda’ calling it the land of Komaram Bheem who fought against Nizam oppression. He compared Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao with Nizam VIII and Amit Shah to Sardar Patel who will oust KCR just like Sardar Patel ousted Nizam.
