Hyderabad: Tension prevailed when the BJP, BJYM and ABVP leaders and activists made a bid to stage a protest near Dr B R Ambedkar statue at Telugu Talli Flyover and lay a siege to Pragati Bhavan, the official residence of Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao here on Tuesday.
In response to the call given by the BJP on Monday, a large number of BJYM activists tried to break the police cordon and barge into Pragati Bhavan.
The police took into custody the BJYM Hyderabad district president Vinay along with several members of the BJP's youth wing.
