Raja Singh opposes demand for Bandi Sanjay’s suspension
Goshamahal MLA T Raja Singh has found fault with those demanding the suspension/ resignation of Bandi Sanjay from his ministerial post.
In a video message, he said that the SIT will ascertain whether there was a conspiracy to frame Bandi Sai Bhagirath, or otherwise.
“There is a demand for the resignation of Bandi Sanjay. But he has not opposed any enquiry by SIT on the case. He said even if his son was found at fault, action will be taken as per law. Even the BJP leaders have maintained the same stance. If the SIT finds Bandi Sanjay’s son or anybody else of perpetrating the crime, they should be punished 100 percent. Neither Bandi Sanjay, nor any BJP leader will obstruct the investigation,” Raja Singh assured.
