Lucknow: Expelled BJP leader Dayashankar Singh, who had been expelled for abusing Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati has been reinstated by the party. Mr Singh, a prominent leader from Ballia was the vice president of the party's state unit before he was expelled in July last year.
Mr Singh's wife Swati Singh, who is also the head of the BJP women's wing, won the assembly polls from the Sarojini Nagar seat of Lucknow yesterday. Mrs Singh was given the key party post weeks after her husband's expulsion. She had caught the attention of the party after she led a campaign demanding FIRs against BSP leaders who raised slogans targeting her minor daughter.
A police case had been filed against Mr Singh following his alleged remarks against Ms Mayawati and he was arrested. Out on bail last August, he targetted the BSP chief again, saying she "auctioned" her tickets for the assembly elections.
He even demanded that a CBI inquiry be ordered into the accsation of party ticket auction, threatening he would go to court otherwise.
