Hyderabad, Sep 9 (IANS): Tension prevailed during Ganesh procession at MJ Market here on Friday when a leader of TRS confronted Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on the dais and tried to dislodge the mike.

A leader of Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samiti (BGUS) was addressing the gathering when a local leader of TRS climbed the dais, and confronted Sarma taking objection to the comments he made earlier.
