Ahead of Telangana elections, BJP revokes suspension of T Raja Singh
BJP on Sunday revoked the suspension of MLA T Raja Singh ahead of Telangana election. Raja Singh had been suspended back in August due to his controversial remarks against Prophet Muhammad.
After his suspension, he was soon served with a show-cause notice.
In response to his reply to the notice, the Central Disciplinary Committee of the party has made the decision to lift his suspension.
Om Pathak, the member secretary of the party's Central Disciplinary Committee, said, «Under suspension, the Central Disciplinary Committee of the party issued a show cause notice to you. This refers to your reply to the show cause notice.
Your reply and explanation offered therein have been considered by the committee. Basis your reply, the committee has decided to revoke your suspension forthwith.»
It's worth noting that following his suspension, Raja Singh had expressed confidence in the BJP's decision to revoke the suspension, and he had plans to contest the Telangana Assembly polls from the Goshamahal constituency on the BJP ticket.
He also ruled out the possibility of joining either the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) or the Congress party.
