BJP suspends Dayashankar Singh from the party

Dayashankar was suspended for a period of six years by the BJP after his derogatory remark against BSP chief Mayawati pushed the party into a tight corner.

Earlier in the day, party’s UP president Keshav Prasad Maurya sacked him from all party posts. Maurya told reporters that Singh has been relieved of all posts and said “such language has no place in the party”.
