Hyderabad, June 30, 2025 – In a shocking turn of events, T. Raja Singh, the outspoken BJP MLA from Goshamahal, has resigned from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), citing deep dissatisfaction with the party’s decision to appoint N. Ramchander Rao as the Telangana state president. The firebrand leader, known for his staunch Hindutva stance and controversial statements, announced his resignation on Monday, sending ripples through Telangana’s political landscape.

Leadership Dispute Sparks Resignation

Raja Singh’s resignation stems from his frustration with the BJP’s central leadership for overlooking him for the role of Telangana BJP chief. In his resignation letter addressed to BJP state president G. Kishan Reddy, Singh expressed disappointment over what he called “backroom deals” and a betrayal of grassroots workers. He alleged that the appointment of Ramchander Rao, a former MLC, sidelined loyal party workers and leaders who have dedicated years to the BJP’s growth in Telangana.

“This decision is emotionally difficult but necessary,” Raja Singh stated, emphasizing that his resignation reflects the sentiments of countless BJP workers. He urged senior leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP national president JP Nadda, and Union Minister Amit Shah, to reconsider the party’s direction in Telangana.

A Vocal Advocate for Hindutva

T. Raja Singh, often referred to as “Tiger Raja Singh,” has been a prominent and polarizing figure in Telangana politics. As a vocal advocate for Hindutva, he has consistently raised issues concerning the Hindu community, earning both staunch supporters and critics. Despite stepping away from the BJP, Singh reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to Hindutva and public service, particularly for the people of Goshamahal.

In a press meet, Singh remarked, “The silence of many should not be mistaken for agreement,” signaling his intent to continue advocating for his ideology outside the party’s framework. He also requested G. Kishan Reddy to inform the Speaker of the Telangana Legislative Assembly about his resignation from the BJP’s primary membership.

BJP Workers and Supporters React

The resignation has sparked varied reactions among BJP workers and supporters. Posts on X reflect disappointment among some, with users describing Singh’s exit as a “loss” for the BJP and a sign that loyal voices are being ignored. One user wrote, “Tiger Raja Singh, one of the boldest voices for Hindus, resigns from BJP. Saffron cannot survive without spine.” Others speculated about internal rifts and questioned the party’s high command for not addressing Singh’s concerns.

What’s Next for Raja Singh?

While Raja Singh has resigned from the BJP, he has not indicated whether he will join another political outfit or continue as an independent leader. His focus on Hindutva and public service suggests he may remain active in Telangana politics, potentially reshaping the state’s political dynamics. Political analysts view his exit as a significant setback for the BJP in Telangana, especially as the party aims to strengthen its foothold in the state.

BJP’s Telangana Leadership Transition

The appointment of N. Ramchander Rao as Telangana BJP chief comes as part of the party’s efforts to reorganize its state unit. Rao, a senior advocate and former MLC, replaces Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy. The BJP issued a notification for the election of its Telangana state president on June 29, with Rao emerging as the frontrunner. However, Raja Singh’s resignation highlights underlying tensions within the party over leadership decisions.

Conclusion

T. Raja Singh’s resignation marks a pivotal moment for the BJP in Telangana. As the party navigates this internal crisis, all eyes will be on how the leadership addresses the concerns of its grassroots workers and whether Singh’s exit will lead to further defections. For now, the firebrand leader’s departure underscores the challenges of balancing ideology, loyalty, and ambition within the BJP’s ranks.
