T Raja Singh is not new to controversy. <\/span>Notorious for delivering vitriolic speeches especially against Muslims, the Bharatiya Janata Party MLA from Hyderabad’s Goshamahal has, in the past, called for violence against the community<\/a>, dehumanised them, accused them of ‘Love Jihad’ and ‘Land Jihad’<\/a> and urged Hindus to boycott them socially and economically<\/a>. And this is putting it mildly. In his speeches, he uses terms such as “Love Jihadi kutton,” “mulle,” “haraami” and “landya” <\/strong>to refer to Muslims. He also refers to old Hyderabad, which has a sizeable Muslim population, as “mini Pakistan”<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Records ahead of the Telangana Assembly elections in 2023, which he contested and won, show 87 criminal cases<\/a> against Thakur Raja Singh, or Tiger Raja Singh as he refers to himself. Among the charges levied against him over the years, a majority were for promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion or for deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings by insulting beliefs. According to a Times of India report, the MLA had 104 FIRs<\/a> against him until last year.<\/p>\n

Despite all of this, Singh refuses to catch a break. Over the past few days, he has delivered a series of controversial and inflammatory remarks promoting communal hatred and inciting violence at the Ram Navami Shobha Yatra in Hyderabad and various other public events organised by far-Right groups in Maharashtra. From targeting minority communities and promoting cow vigilantism, to calling for destroying Aurangzeb\u2019s tomb<\/a> and renaming Shivaji University, Singh’s speeches yet again glorified violence and fuelled already simmering communal tensions in these regions.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Words Power Violence<\/h4>\n

Let’s begin with his appearance at the Ram Navami Shobha Yatra in Hyderabad<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1. Hyderabad, Ram Navami 2025, April 6:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A large crowd gathered at Siddiamber Bazar Road before a tarpaulin-covered mosque. Singh stood there, feeding a sea of people his usual inflammatory rhetoric, calling those from a certain community, “haraamis”<\/strong> (sinners or bastards).<\/p>\n
