“We have asked the district administration, which had got the entire dharna filmed, to provide us the footage”.
TAKING note of the derogatory remark by BJP leader Dayashankar Singh against Mayawati, the ruling Samajwadi Party in UP on Wednesday said “appropriate action” will be taken against him by the State Government. They also demanded that police arrest Singh, who was removed from the post of BJP’s state unit vice president.
“Siddiqui said Singh’s daughter should be presented before the crowd”.
Maurya said the BJP found the statement made by Dayashankar Singh against Mayawati incorrect and eventually expelled him from the party.
Sources say Singh is holed up at some place in eastern Uttar Pradesh.
“While BSP leader Satish Chandra Mishra said that nothing like this happened, but the entire country has witnessed and listened the foul language used by BSP workers during protest yesterday”.
Now by putting Singh’s wife in the forefront, BJP has tried to give a new turn to the issue of his comments seeing the political damage being faced by it, he said. They are anti-Dalits, anti-farmers too and now anti-women also.
Had Singh’s wife and mother come out and condemned his remarks against me I could have said that they had renounced his mistake.
“I want the FIR because I’m a woman, my daughter is a woman and my mother-in-law is a woman”. The party took action against him, but that is not enough.
“I have called her on Sunday at Raj Bhawan to listen to her grievances”, he said.
