BJP Leaders Detained Amid Road Completion Protest in Telangana
In Nagarkurnool, Telangana, BJP leaders planned a protest because a road was not finished.
For two years, the road has been bad, making it hard for people to travel.
The BJP wanted the government to finish the road.
Before the protest could happen, police arrested the BJP leaders, saying they were blocking the road.
The BJP is upset, saying the government is stopping them from speaking out and not doing its job.
Villagers also want the road fixed because it gets very bad during the rainy season.
BJP leaders were detained in Nagarkurnool, Telangana, ahead of a planned protest.
The protest aimed to demand completion of a pending road project from Seetharamapuram to Thodelagadda.
Villagers and BJP activists have been agitating for two years due to the contractor abandoning the road works.
