T Raja Singh left BJP, expressed his pain in his resignation
Telangana’s Goshamahal MLA T Raja Singh has resigned from the BJP. He has sent his resignation to state BJP chief G Kishan Reddy, expressing displeasure over the ongoing tussle for the party’s state leadership.
T Raja Singh said that the silence of many people should not be construed as consent. I am speaking not just for myself but for the countless workers and voters who stood with us with faith and who today feel betrayed.
In his letter, Raja Singh made it clear that even though he is parting ways with the BJP, his commitment to Hindutva ideology and service to religion remains unchanged. He said that I will continue to raise my voice and stand even more strongly with the Hindu community.
Calling it a difficult but necessary decision, he said that the silence of many people should not be taken as consent. I am speaking not only for myself, but for the countless workers and voters who are feeling disappointed today.
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 Santosh and urged them to reconsider the current leadership position in Telangana. His letter states that Telangana is ready for BJP, but we must choose the right leadership to respect that opportunity and not let it slip away. Raja Singh signed the letter and wrote, “Jai Hind, Jai Shri Ram.”
