Dayashankar Singh, booked for remark against Mayawati, arrested in Bihar

Patna: Police have arrested expelled Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Dayashankar Singh for making derogatory remarks against Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati.
Singh was nabbed at Buxar in Bihar after remaining absconding since July 19 when at a press conference in Mau, he said that the BSP chief was giving party tickets based on the amount of money paid to her and that even a prostitute was better than her.
On the following day, the BJP sacked the Uttar Pradesh unit vice-president from all party posts.
The statement also led to furore and eventually a case was registered against Singh at the Hazratganj police station by Mewa Lal Gautam who said the now-sacked BJP state vice-president’s statement had violated the honour of a Dalit woman and tried to foment trouble and tension between two communities.
