# Raja Singh appeals to Telangana BJP to end factionalism 2026-08-19T17:34:18+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Suspended BJP MLA T Raja Singh has made a fresh appeal to the Telangana BJP leadership to set aside internal differences and work towards strengthening the party. In a video message, he noted the absence of a Telangana representative in the party's national executive and urged senior leaders to introspect. Singh, who was suspended following allegations against state party leaders, struck a conciliatory tone without explicitly announcing his return. He called on leaders to rise above factional politics and focus on bringing the BJP to power in Telangana, citing the party's expansion in West Bengal as an example of collective effort. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Raja Singh's suspension dates to August 2022 after a speech deemed inflammatory. His return bid comes as the BJP seeks to expand in Telangana ahead of assembly elections due by December 2024. The party's state unit is fractured, with factions loyal to national leaders and local satraps. Singh commands a loyal following in Goshamahal but faces resistance from senior leaders who see him as a liability. The central leadership will decide his fate, likely balancing electoral calculus with image management. Watch for whether the BJP revokes his suspension before ticket distribution for the next election. ## Coverage - siasat.com Frames Singh's appeal as conciliatory without taking sides, reports his video message and its context.
