The young leader, who was in Hyderabad to campaign for BJP in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections, addressed the students at Arts College and claimed that the police at the behest of Telangana government tried to stop him.
The police, however, had denied this. M.

"The law and order situation is peaceful and there is no tension as reported," he had said.
Meanwhile, the BJP has condemned booking of case against Surya. Party's national general secretary Bhupender Yadav said this shows the desperation of Telangana government. He said KCR is clearly rattled having sensed a reinvigoration of the revolutionary spirit in the youth of Telangana.
