Case filed against BJP MLA for inflammatory speeches

A complaint was lodged at the Golconda police station against Raja Singh, who represents Goshamahal constituency here, on Saturday.

He made "derogatory and hate" speeches against Muslims and promoted enmity between Hindus and Muslims, said the complaint, citing Lodh's speeches between July 2015 to December 15, 2017 which are available on social media.

Police registered a case against Lodh under IPC sections 153A (promoting enmity among people on the grounds of religion, race, residence and language) and 295-A, said an official.
