Why is Raja Singh appointed as incharge of Hyderabad?
The official reason behind appointing Raja Singh as the incharge of the Hyderabad Parliamentary seat has not been announced by the BJP.
However, in the recently concluded assembly polls in Telangana, Raja Singh was the lone BJP candidate who won the MLA seat from the constituencies in the Hyderabad Parliamentary seat.
Additionally, he is the only BJP MLA representing a constituency in the Assembly since 2014.
While the BJP’s seat share in the Telangana Assembly improved, it remains to be seen how the party will perform in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
