In Hindu Rashtra, you won't get loudspeaker to pray five times a day: BJP MLA
video goes viral; case registered
Pune, Mar 14: An offence has been registered in Maharashtra's Ahmednagar against suspended BJP MLA from Telangana T Raja Singh after a video of his vitriolic speech targeting Muslims went viral on social media.
The MLA was also recently questioned by Latur police in Maharashtra over another provocative tirade of his, officials said.
"Whoever speaks against Hindus, we will not spare them," Singh is heard telling the sizeable crowd comprising mostly youth in Rahta tehsil in Ahmednagar district at a recent public meeting.
"In our Hindu Rashtra you won't even get a loudspeaker to do what you do five times a day," he said, in an apparent reference to Muslims offering prayers.
Singh also claimed that in a media interview several years ago, Shiv Sena founder late Bal Thackeray had spoken of "eliminating" insects and cockroaches (Muslims) with a spray.
Singh is heard saying that if someone wants to beat 'lande' (a derogatory reference to Muslims), he should join Bajrang Dal. He is also heard seeking the support of youth to make India a 'Hindu Rashtra'.
"Let the lande' of Maharashtra know that the army of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is ready. Let those who talk against Hindus or slaughter cows know that we are ready," he is heard saying.
India will be declared as "akhand Hindu rashtra" by 2026, Singh said.
The names of Ahmednagar and Hyderabad (capital of Telangana) cities will be changed to Ahilyabainagar and Bhagyanagar, respectively, he said.
"Hindus are demanding the country be made an 'Akhand Hindu Rashtra'. If there can be more than 50 Islamic countries and more than 150 Christian nations, why can't India be declared a Hindu Rashtra given that Hindus constitute a majority of its 100 million people?"
"Come what may, in 2025 and 2026, India will be declared as 'Akhand Hindu Rashtra'. I am not saying this, this is the roar of all sadhus and sants and it is their prophecy," said Singh, amid cheers by the crowd.
A senior official of Ahmednagar police on Tuesday said they have registered a case against the MLA.
"Based on a complaint, we have registered an offence against Singh and the organizers of the event under sections 295 A (Deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage reli gious feelings), 504 (Intentional insult to provoke breach of peace), 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code," he said.
Singh, who has a history of making incendiary communal speeches, was arrested last year for remarks against Prophet Mohammed.
In Maharashtra, he has addressed rallies in Solapur, Amravati, Latur, Karad, Pune and Mumbai in recent weeks.
At a rally in Latur on February 19, Singh said, "Teach a lesson to Afzal's illegitimate sons. Nobody propagating love jihad should be alive on Maharashtra's soil."
On February 27, Latur police booked Singh for his speech under sections 295-A and 153 (provocation with intent to cause rioting) of the IPC.
Latur's Superintendent of Police Somay Munde said a first information report was filed and police are investigating the matter.
Another police official in Latur said that police have questioned Singh and are in the process of filing a charge sheet against him.
The MLA from Goshamahal in Hyderabad is known for his controversial remarks against Muslims.
Following an uproar over his remarks against Islam and Prophet Mohammed, the BJP had suspended Singh from the party in August 2022.
Singh was arrested in connection with the case and secured bail.
Singh faces several police cases in Hyderabad including those related to alleged communal offences.
The Telangana High Court in November 2022 ordered his release, two-and-a-half months after he was detained under the Act, and also granted him conditional bail in the case.
One of India’s top Hindu supremacist leaders T Raja Singh is giving a hate speech to thousands of cheering supporters, calling Muslims insects & cockroaches - they need to be killed for the country to be Hindu Rashtra. This is why Genocide Watch puts India at the top of its list. pic.twitter.com/B7mfpBqe4k

Allahabad HC orders probe into 'reinstatement' of teacher in UP's Barabanki
Lucknow (PTI): The Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court on Friday ordered a probe by the special task force (STF) into alleged irregularities in the rejoining of a teacher at City Intermediate College in Barabanki, observing that the reinstatement appeared to be prima facie illegal.
The court also directed the recovery of the salary paid to the teacher during the disputed period.
A bench of Justice Rajeev Singh passed the order on a petition filed by the college management committee. The court expressed doubts over the roles of the District Inspector of Schools (DIOS), Barabanki, the college principal and the teacher concerned and hence, directed a detailed inquiry into the matter.
Taking note of alleged manipulation of records and misleading submissions, the court ordered the immediate transfer of the Barabanki DIOS to ensure a fair probe. It also directed the initiation of disciplinary proceedings against the then joint director of education of the Ayodhya division.
In its order, the court found that the teacher, Abhay Kumar, was initially appointed as an assistant teacher in 2018 but joined an Eklavya Model Residential School in Chhattisgarh as a lecturer in June 2024 without obtaining permission from the management. His subsequent request to retain the lien was rejected.
Despite this, he was allowed to rejoin the Barabanki College in September 2025 on the directions of the joint director of education and the DIOS, and was even paid the salary for October 2025. The court termed the rejoining "wholly illegal" and lacking any legal basis.
The bench also expressed concern over lapses in communication within the education department and directed the Uttar Pradesh chief secretary to ensure that official orders are communicated through email and WhatsApp as well, to prevent disputes.
The matter is next listed for hearing on May 28 when a compliance report is sought.
