R.K. Singh Quits BJP After Suspension Amid Escalating Attacks on Party Leadership
R.K. Singh, former IAS officer and BJP leader, resigned from the party shortly after being suspended for his continued criticism of senior BJP figures during the Bihar Assembly election. Singh, who joined the BJP in 2013 and once served as a Union Minister, had increasingly distanced himself from the party leadership in recent months. His public statements attacking BJP leaders created internal friction, ultimately leading to disciplinary action. Even after suspension, Singh escalated his allegations, accusing the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government of involvement in a ₹62,000-crore power scam, a claim that added to the political turbulence in the State. His resignation marks a significant development ahead of future political realignments in Bihar. Party insiders say the BJP viewed his remarks as damaging during a crucial electoral phase. Singh has not disclosed his next political move, but his exit is expected to reshape equations within the State’s political landscape.
