The three-time BJP MP Raja Singh, who has been sidelined by the party in recent times has been continuing his tirade against party leadership and this time he opened himself against the decisions of the party central leaders.
So far he is confining himself to state BJP leaders, but this time cautioning the party central leadership against appointment of next state BJP president another `rubber stamp’, it has indicated that the party is ignoring real grassroot activists.
Amidst the uncertainty over the appointment of the Telangana state BJP president, he alleged that if the state committee decides on the BJP state president, he will remain a rubber stamp. He said that if the central committee decides, the BJP will have a good future in Telangana.
It may be recalled that all BJP leaders in the state are nominees of the party high-command and none of them were chosen by the local party leaders. However, he expressed hope that the BJP high command will take care of this matter. He alleged that those who served as BJP state presidents in the past have caused serious damage to the party with group politics.
Indirectly targeting president state chief and union minister G Kishan Reddy, Raja Singh advised the new president of the Telangana BJP not to engage in backdoor politics by holding secret talks with the state Chief Minister. He appealed to the new prospective state president to identify party activists who are really working for the sake of Dharma and committed to bring BJP into power in the state by providing them suitable positions in the party
He accused that the present leadership has kept aside hard-core party leaders and activists. Referring to his outburst against the party leadership in the state, Raja Singh said that he has been bringing facts to the notice of the people as the party top leadership is not responding even after his repeated requests on the factual situation of the party in the state.
He further alleged that though there are a large number of nominated posts available for the party activists in the central government, intentionally the state party leadership denied opportunities to the party cadre fearing that they would enhance their influence within the party and also among the people.
