Bharatiya Janata Party MLA T Raja Singh on Monday resigned from the party amid a leadership tussle in the Telangana unit of the party. His resignation came shortly after reports surfaced that senior leader N Ramchander Rao is likely to be appointed as the new BJP state president for Telangana. In a letter addressed to current Telangana BJP chief G Kishan Reddy, Raja Singh described the development as a shock and a source of deep disappointment."This decision has come as a shock and disappointment, not just to me, but to lakhs of Karyakartas, leaders, and voters who have stood by the party through every high and low. At a time when BJP stands at the threshold of forming its first government in Telangana, such a choice raises serious doubts about the direction we are heading,” Raja Singh wrote in the letter, which he also shared on social media platform X."There are many capable senior leaders, MLAs, and MPs within our state who have tirelessly worked for the growth of BJP and who have the strength, credibility, and connect to lead the party forward. Unfortunately, it appears that some individuals, driven by personal interests, have misled the central leadership and taken decisions by running the show from behind the curtain. This not only undermines the sacrifices of grassroots workers but risks pushing the party into avoidable setbacks," he added."I have been a dedicated Karyakarta, elected three times in a row with the blessings of the people and support of the party. But today, I find it difficult to stay silent or pretend that all is well. This is not about personal ambition, this letter reflects the pain and frustration of lakhs of loyal BJP Karyakartas and supporters who feel sidelined and unheard," the letter further said."We had the best opportunity in years to bring the BJP to power in Telangana. But that hope is slowly being replaced by disappointment and frustration, not because of the people, but because of the leadership being placed at the helm. With great sadness, I have decided to resign from the primary membership of the Bharatiya Janata Party. I request you, Shri Kishan Reddy ji, to kindly inform the Hon’ble Speaker of the Telangana Legislative Assembly that T. Raja Singh is no longer a member of the BJP," Goshamahal MLA wrote."While I may be stepping away from the party, I remain fully committed to the ideology of Hindutva and the service of our Dharma and the people of Goshamahal. I will continue to raise my voice and stand with the Hindu community with even greater strength. This is a difficult decision, but a necessary one. The silence of many should not be mistaken for agreement. I speak not just for myself, but for countless Karyakartas and voters who stood with us with faith, and who today feel let down," he added."I also humbly appeal to our senior leadership - Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, BJP National President Shri JP Nadda ji, Shri Amit Shah ji, and Shri BL Santhosh ji, to reconsider this course. Telangana is ready for the BJP, but we must choose the right leadership to honour that opportunity and not let it slip away," his letter read.
