Bandi Sanjay Kumar, who recently took oath as a minister in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's cabinet, has navigated a series of political storms and intra-party challenges to establish himself as a formidable BJP leader in Telangana.

Kumar's political journey began in student politics, particularly in the Akhil Bhaaratiya Vidyarthi Parishad, the student wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, an association that started in his childhood. This right-wing grooming provided him a solid ideological foundation and clear direction, making him well-known as an assertive saffron leader.

His 'take the bull by the horns' approach led to significant victories in the Hyderabad civic polls during the previous BRS regime, suggesting the emergence of the BJP as a viable alternative to the then ruling party. Now serving as BJP national general secretary, Kumar retained the Karimnagar Lok Sabha seat with a substantial margin, reinforcing his political clout.
