The Raja Singh episode is taking curious turns and twists. Questions are being raised as to what is Raja Singh's game plan and who is propping up Raja Singh. Several BJP strategists are coming round to believe that there is more to Raja Singh's moves than meets the eye. They feel that he is ending up benefiting from all sides at the cost of both the party and its leaders in Telangana.

Raja Singh, who is not very conversant in Telugu, but is fluent in Hindi, is looking to emerge as a leader of the militant sections of Hindu youth across the country. He is regularly visiting places like Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, where he is addressing large public meetings. Sources say that by making controversial videos, he is trying to expand his base in these regions.

Sources also claim that the incidents of Tuesday have made Raja Singh a national icon. Unlike Nupur Sharma, who has gone silent, Raja Singh not just managed to get the case against him scrapped and made even more provocative statements. He is said to be eyeing north and western India, where he wants to emerge as a Hindutva icon. It is with this view in the end that he has said that he is not worried about the party and that he is committed to Hindutva.

Yet others question the timing of his controversial video. With his video, he has eclipsed state chief Bandi Sanjay and his padayatra. With one video, he has managed to get all the attention focused on him. Even Bandi Sanjay's arrest and dharna remained confined to inside pages of the media, while Raja Singh dominated the front pages. Sources say Raja Singh has a bigger plan in mind to emerge as a national-level Hindutva icon.
