In a setback to the BJP, Telangana MLA from Goshamahal, T Raja Singh, has resigned from the party. He sent his resignation letter to state BJP chief G Kishan Reddy, expressing displeasure over the ongoing tussle for the party’s state leadership.

In his letter, Raja Singh clarified that while he is stepping away from the BJP, his commitment to Hindutva ideology and the service of Dharma remains unchanged. “I will continue to raise my voice and stand with the Hindu community with even greater strength,” he stated.

Calling it a difficult but necessary decision, he said, “The silence of many should not be mistaken for agreement. I speak not just for myself, but for countless karyakartas and voters who today feel let down.”

Raja Singh also made a direct appeal to the central leadership, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP national president JP Nadda, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and party general secretary BL Santhosh, urging them to reconsider the current leadership situation in Telangana. “Telangana is ready for the BJP, but we must choose the right leadership to honour that opportunity and not let it slip away,” his letter read.

Raja Singh signed off the letter with “Jai Hind. Jai Shri Ram.
