Even while rumours are rife about the impending change of guard in the BJP leadership in Telangana, in view of the forthcoming assembly elections at the end of the year, there is a demand within the party for lifting the suspension of Goshamahal MLA Raja Singh.
Former Lok Sabha member and party senior leader M.Vijayashanthi, in a tweet recently, urged the party leadership to lift the suspension of Mr.Raja Singh. He was suspended from the party for making objectionable comments against a particular religion. The comments were in response to standup comic Munawar Faruqui’s show in Hyderabad in August 2022. The video went viral on across social media platforms, forcing the BJP to suspend him from the party.
BJP Central Disciplinary Committee member Secretary Om Pathak issued the suspension orders, stating that “Mr. Singh had expressed his views contrary to the party’s position on various matters”.
