Hyderabad
Goshamhal MLA T. Raja Singh, who is yet to resign despite the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ‘suspending’ him from the party, said that the party high command has not given him any indication to quit.
“If they ask me to resign, I will do it immediately and contest as an Independent,” Mr. Raja Singh said on Sunday, while speaking to reporters in Hyderabad after performing puja for Bonalu. “If Union Home Minister Amit Shah asks me to resign, I will do so immediately.”
Mr. Singh also made it clear that he would not join the Congress that has a “political association with the AIMIM”. I will work with any organisation that works for Sanatana Dharma, he said.
However, he said that he would extend help to anyone in establishing a model Goshala. He claimed that a senior Congress Minister spoke to him and asked for his cooperation for the Goshala.
“I don’t mind which party he is from as long as the goal is the same,” he said, claiming that the previous governments politicised the reshaping of the historic Simhawahini Mahakali temple. “I want the Congress government to build it in a grand manner,” he said.
Replying to a query that Madhavi Latha, who contested as the BJP candidate against Asaduddin Owaisi in the LS elections, wanted to be considered for the Goshamahal bypoll, he said that he was ready to contest against anyone. “The people of Goshamahal will decide who has worked for them and kept the Hindutva flag high”, he said.
