R.K. Singh is a senior bjp leader, former Union cabinet Minister (Power), and ex‑MP from the Ara (Arrah) lok sabha constituency.
He has publicly clashed with BJP’s Bihar and central leadership on multiple issues, leading to his suspension/expulsion.
Key Reasons for Action by BJP
Allegations of a Major Power Scam
Singh has accused the bihar government and adani Power of a ₹62,000‑crore power scam.
He claims an agreement was signed to supply electricity at an inflated cost (₹ 6.075 per unit for 25 years), which he says will burden the people and cause massive losses.
He has demanded a cbi investigation into the matter.
Criticism of BJP’s Ticket Distribution
Singh accused the bjp of giving tickets to criminals in bihar — saying that in some cases, tickets were “sold” by party leaders.
He argued that genuine party workers and popular sitting MLAs were being ignored in favour of people with criminal backgrounds.
He claimed this undermines the principle of clean governance, asking: “What is the difference between you and Lalu Prasad?”
Public Dissent / Anti‑Party Behavior
By making these serious allegations publicly — including the alleged power scam and internal ticket corruption — Singh has openly defied party discipline.
Such high-profile criticism is viewed by party leadership as damaging to BJP’s image and electoral prospects, especially in Bihar.
Implications of the Suspension
BJP’s six‑year suspension signals zero tolerance for public dissent by senior leaders.
It serves as a warning to others in the party against airing internal grievances openly.
The move may also be intended to contain the fallout from Singh’s allegations, by sidelining him politically.
For R.K. Singh personally, this suspension could severely limit his influence within the party, unless reconciliatory steps are taken.
