Hyderabad BJP leader T Raja Singh, known for his controversial speeches, was nowhere the Chengicherla locality where communal clashes broke out Sunday, 24 March. Yet he is taking the blame. The reason is, Hindutva pop songs with incendiary tones, called ‘Raja Singh songs’ usually played at his rallies, were played in the locality and they triggered the violence.
