Suspension on Raja Singh may be lifted by the BJP

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has ignored the suspended leader and MLA from Goshamahal, T. Raja Singh for a long time, and the time seems to have come where it is left with no option but to lift the suspension as it gets ready to announce the first list of names for the Telangana Assembly elections 2023.

Sources said the BJP high command is considering lifting the suspension and fielding him from the Goshamahal constituency in the heart of Hyderabad city and surrounded by the constituencies represented by the All India Majlis e Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM).

The BJP state president and Union Minister, G. Kishan Reddy dropped enough hints with the media, indicating that the party would look into lifting the suspension of its lone MLA elected in the 2018 elections and later suspended for his outrageous comments on Prophet Mohammed. The Central Election Committee is said to have discussed the issue when it met on Friday night in New Delhi.
