Once regarded as the second-in-command during former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s tenure, senior BJP leader and Khurai MLA Bhupendra Singh—who served as Home Minister in the previous cabinet—appears to be voicing his discontent after being left out of the current cabinet formation. 

Speaking at a Diwali Milan event in Baghraj Ward, Singh delivered a philosophically loaded speech centered on “values, culture, and morality.” However, Seasoned political observers see it as a subtle reflection of his current disenchantment and an indirect commentary on the shifting power equations within the BJP.

Without directly naming anyone, Singh criticized “opportunistic politics”, asserting that it weakens democracy and erodes public faith in the political system—a remark that many interpret as a veiled attack on his intra-party rival.  Who, before long, defected from the Congress. 

His statement that “politics should be a medium of service, not self-gain” was widely read as an expression of ideological frustration over recent developments within the state’s political landscape.

Throughout his address, Singh emphasized that character, values, and culture form the foundation of life, arguing that wealth is meaningless without moral grounding. 

In a speech blending cultural conservatism and social commentary, he invoked mythological references such as Abhimanyu's learning in the womb, stressing the role of mothers in nurturing values and condemning the modern obsession with mobile phones and materialism.

In political terms, Singh’s remarks carry undertones of moral positioning and self-reassertion—an attempt to project himself as a custodian of traditional BJP values and public service ethics at a time when he feels marginalized in the current power setup. 

His critique of “corrupt and opportunistic politics” and appeal for “youth with character to enter public life” underscores his effort to reclaim ideological relevance amid shifting loyalties and internal rivalries.

While maintaining a public tone of cultural and social reform, Bhupendra Singh’s speech reflects a deeper sentiment—a senior leader seeking to reaffirm his political stature in an environment where his once-commanding influence within the party has notably diminished.
