New Delhi: There seems to be no end in sight to the controversy over Dayashankar Singh's remark against Mayawati.
BSP supremo Mayawati on Sunday launched a scathing attack on BJP alleging that the saffron party made Dayashankar Singh use foul language against her.
"BJP is making him do this, they want to protect Dayashankar," Mayawati said.
"It's a conspiracy of BJP and Samajwadi Party (SP)," Mayawati added in a press conference.
"BJP had thought that suspending Dayashankar will win hearts of dalits but this took a U turn," Mayawati alleged.
The BJP on Saturday held demonstrations across Uttar Pradesh against the abuses hurled by the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) workers at the wife and the minor daughter of Dayashankar Singh, the expelled state BJP vice president.
However, pushed to the backfoot on charges of abusing the wife, mother, sister and minor daughter of expelled Dayashankar, BSP clarified that it did not mean to target his family.
An FIR was also lodged against Mayawati and three others by the family of former BJP Vice President Daya Shankar Singh at Hazratganj police station on Friday.
