On Tuesday night, Singh declared that he would proceed with the procession plan despite the police denying him permission.

“Today, at 8:30 pm on April 16, I received a letter rejecting permission for this year’s Shri Ram Navami procession. What’s alarming is that the letter was dated April 14, leaving us with insufficient time to address this issue,” he said on X.

“For years, our procession has been a symbol of devotion, drawing lakhs of Ram Bhakts from across the nation and Telangana. It’s disheartening to witness such a sudden and unjustified obstruction to our Hindu freedom,” the MLA further tweeted.

“We anticipated such actions from the current Congress government, following in the footsteps of KCR, and ignoring Hindu sentiments. But….Jai Shri Ram?????? #SriRamNavami (sic),” he added.

“No one can stop me. It was predicted that in the event of Congress assuming authority, Hindus would face oppression, supported by law enforcement agencies. Instances have already surfaced in Kerala and Karnataka during Hindu celebrations, with organisers facing pressure and fabricated charges,” he said in a video message, adding that he had applied for the permission 40 days before the event.

Permission for the event

The police have permitted an organisation named Bhagwantrao Bhagyanagar Utsav Samithi to take out the rally.

“There is no permission (granted to Raja Singh). There were four applications, and our commissioner has given the permission to Bhagwantrao Bhagyanagar Utsav Samithi, on the same route as of Raja Singh’s planned Shobha Yatra,” Kotla Venkat Reddy, ACP of Goshamahal told South First.

Bhagwantrao Bhagyanagar Utsav Samithi could bring anyone, including Singh. During the rally last year, Singh had made an inflammatory speech and demanded a Hindu Rashtra.
