It seems that the BJP top leadership has become serious over the behavior of its three-time MLA Raja Singh, who announced his resignation from the party on Monday, alleging that he was prevented from submitting his nomination for the post of state party president. As already several times his anti-party activities created a mess in the party, the party sources indicated that they are not considering accepting his resignation.
BJP national leaders Sunil Bansal and Abhay Patil stepped in and tried to convince Raja Singh from resigning. However, they have become serious about his explanation and comments. In this context, it is known that the state leadership has sent Raja Singh’s resignation letter to the national leadership.
Meanwhile, BJP State spokesperson Smt. Rani Rudrama has strongly refuted Raja Singh’s accusation that he was prevented from filing his nomination papers. She lashed out at Raja Singh, saying that his indiscipline has reached its peak. Moreover, she explained that if an MLA wants to resign from the post, he should submit a letter to the Assembly Speaker.
She clarified that the party is more important than individuals for BJP. Rani Rudrama explained that the resignation letter given to the party president is being sent to the national president. She said that Raja Singh came to the BJP state office to file his nomination for the state party presidential elections and collected the nomination paper from Union Minister and Returning Officer for Telangana organizational Elections Shobha Karandlaje.
On this occasion, she said that Raja Singh also spoke to BJP state in-charge Abhay Patil. Abhay Patil clearly told him that this is a democratically run party and anyone can file a nomination. However, according to the party rules, the signatures of 10 state council members are mandatory for the nomination form to be valid. The returning officers told Raja Singh about this.
Rani Rudrama said that they advised him to file the nomination with those signatures But, she deplored that Raja Singh came out and since he did not have 10 members to sign for him, lied to defame the party. She lamented that he tried to malign the party by saying that the party did not give him the opportunity to file his nomination.
After that, Raja Singh submitted his resignation to BJP state president Kishan Reddy and the resignation letter will be sent to the national party, she added.
