55-year-old Raghvendra Pratap Singh is a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader from Uttar Pradesh. Until recently, he was the Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) from Domariyaganj. But the serial hate offender was defeated by Samajwadi Party’s Saiyada Khatoon in the 2022 Assembly Elections. Singh had allegedly made a series of extremely communally polarizing statements as part of his election campaign, that were in clear violation of the Election Commission of India’s (ECI) Model Code of Conduct (MCC). He reportedly told his constituents, “If you make me MLA again, they (Muslims) will stop wearing skullcaps and start applying tilaks.” Singh also claims that after he got elected in the last election, “250 acres of land belonging to Muslims got confiscated, their shops destroyed.” Singh also asks the crowd, “Will there be Jai Shri Ram or Walekum Salam in Domariyaganj?”
