Raja Singh quits BJP amid Telangana leadership change
On June 30, Raja Singh resigned from the party over the party’s leadership change.
His decision came shortly after media reports indicated that senior party leader and ex-MLC N Ramchander Rao is likely to be appointed as the new president of the BJP in Telangana.
Raja Singh has posted his resignation letter online which stated, “This decision has come as a shock and disappointment, not just to me, but to lakhs of Karyakartas, leaders, and voters who have stood by the party through every high and low. At a time when BJP stands at the threshold of forming its first government in Telangana, such a choice raises serious doubts about the direction we are heading.”
He requested the current BJP state president G Kishan Reddy to inform the Telangana Legislative Assembly Speaker that he is no longer a member of the BJP.
Now, it has become official that Raja Singh will remain an independent MLA after the acceptance of the resignation letter.
