FIR Filed against BJP Leader Who Likened Mayawati to a Prostitute

The Rajya Sabha session was adjourned after the remark sparked a row.

The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) on Wednesday evening lodged an FIR against senior BJP leader Dayashankar Singh for comparing BSP supremo Mayawati to a “prostitute.”

This comes after Singh’s derogatory remark created a storm in the Parliament and forced the BJP to remove him as the party’s UP Vice President.

The remark drew severe condemnation from parties, while an embarrassed BJP expressed regret. The furore over the issue forced the adjournment of Rajya Sabha for the day.

Mayawati is breaking the dream of Kanshi Ram into pieces. Mayawati is selling tickets (sic)... Mayawati gives tickets for Rs 1 crore and if there is someone who can give Rs 2 crore than she sells it for Rs 2 crore within an hour. If someone is ready to give Rs 3 crore by the evening, she gives the ticket to him. Today her character is worse than that of a prostitute.
