Reacting to speculations that the party leadership is about to issue a show cause notice to him for alleged violation of party discipline, the three-time Goshamahal MLA Raja Singh has challenged the BJP leadership to suspend him rather than give him notices. He threatened that if he is suspended, he will reveal the horoscopes of `everyone’ who will cause the most damage to the party in Telangana.
Raja Singh, who is always in controversy, has once again made these comments. It may be recalled that Raja Singh recently made sensational comments supporting the allegations of BRS MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha that efforts were made for merger of BRS with BJP. He had made such comments about his own party in the past as well and several times the party leadership has been expressing anger towards him.
He has been unhappy with the BJP state leadership for some time now for ignoring his seniority as MLA and not consulting him on any key issue, besides denying him to become legislature party leader. On several occasions, he has been indirectly criticizing the party’s state president and union minister Kishan Reddy.
Raja Singh, who expressed dissatisfaction over the appointment of district presidents in the party, selection of MLC candidates and other issues, severely criticized the party leadership. He commented that the BJP would never come to power in Telangana if some people in the party were not sent out.
He alleged that BJP MPs and MLAs were holding secret meetings with Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. He made comments against party leaders with an exaggerated tendency to say that there is a single caste dominance in the party and demanded to remove incompetent leaders from their positions.
A big uproar broke out when last week he indirectly targeted union minister of state Bandi Sanjay Kumar. He said that a conspiracy was being hatched against him from Karimnagar. Referring to alleged collusion between BJP and BRS, Raja Singh also made sensational comments that BJP had suffered losses due to such alliances in the past. In this context, it seems that the BJP central leadership has taken Raja Singh’s comments seriously and has ordered the state leadership to issue notices.
