Telangana MLA T Raja Singh quits BJP, objects to appointment of new state party chief

Telangana MLA T Raja Singh on Monday resigned from the Bharatiya Janata Party, expressing “shock and disappointment” at media reports saying that former Member of Legislative Council N Ramachander Rao was set to be the next state party chief.

Singh, the MLA from the Goshamahal constituency in Hyderabad, said in a letter to current Telangana BJP chief G Kishan Reddy that the decision disappointed “lakhs of karyakartas, leaders and voters who have stood by the party through every high and low”.

He said that some individuals, driven by personal interest, appeared to have misled the BJP’s central leadership, and claimed that this risked causing avoidable setbacks to the party.

“This is not about personal ambition, this letter reflects the pain and frustration of lakhs of loyal BJP karyakartas and supporters who feel sidelines and unheard,” Singh said.

The Goshamahal MLA, however, said he remained committed to the ideology of Hindutva, and that he would “continue to raise my voice and stand with the Hindu community with even greater strength”.

The silence of many should not be mistaken for agreement.

I speak not just for myself, but for countless karyakartas and voters who stood with us with faith, and who today feel let down.
