BJP National General Secretary Arun Singh, in a letter dated Friday, 11 July, said the party has accepted the resignation of Telangana MLA T Raja Singh, who represents the Goshamahal constituency in the state Assembly.
“This is reference to you letter No. 1041 Dated 30th June, 2025 written to Shri G. Kishan Reddy ji, President, BJP Telangana State regarding your resignation from the party,” said Arun Singh in the letter.
“As per the direction of Hon’ble National President Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda, I do convey that your resignation has been accepted with immediate effect,” he added.
The letter sent to T Raja Singh.
Raja Singh expressed his desire to resign from the party after expressing strong opposition to the decision to appoint former MLC N Ramachander Rao as the state president of the BJP.
In a strongly worded letter addressed to the then-state president G Kishan Reddy on 30 June, Raja Singh described the decision as a “shock and disappointment” to himself and “lakhs of karyakartas.”
“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,” he wrote.
“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.”
However, the BJP said the things mentioned in his letter as irrelevant.
“The aforesaid letter has been brought to the notice of Hon’ble National President Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda ji. The contents mentioned by you are irrelevant and do not match to the functioning, ideology and principles of the party,” said Arun Singh in his letter.
A three-time legislator from Hyderabad’s Goshamahal constituency, Singh had earlier shown interest in contesting for the post of Telangana BJP president.
