Suspension of T Raja Singh
On 23rd August 2022, Tiger Raja Singh was suspended by the BJP for an alleged post on Prophet Muhammad. In the letter issued by the Central Disciplinary Committee of the party, it was mentioned that Raja’s views were contrary to the Party’s stand on various matters, and he violated Rule XXV 10(a) of the constitution of the Party that reads, “Breach of discipline includes acting or carrying on propaganda against any program or decision of the Party.”
In May 2023, however, the BJP said that his suspension would definitely be lifted. In an interview with ABN Telugu, Union Minister G Kishan Reddy said that the party will soon revoke Tiger Raja Singh’s suspension and bring him back to the party. He said, “We will definitely lift the suspension. We are talking with the national leadership. They will make a decision at the right time.”
T Raja Singh was arrested for alleged provocative comments against Prophet Mohammed but later released on court’s orders.
