BSP Calls Off Protest After Reassurances of Dayanshankar’s Arrest

BSP has asked its workers to reach Lucknow to protest the remarks made by the BJP leader.

Bahujam Samaj Party (BSP) workers called off their protest against former Uttar Pradesh BJP vice president Dayashankar Singh, in Lucknow, on Thursday afternoon after police vowed to arrest Singh in the next 36 hours.

BSP workers had started the agitation in the Hazratganj area of UP demanding the arrest of Dayashanakar Singh for making derogatory remarks against party supremo Mayawati on Thursday. The workers held a protest before the Ambedkar statue in Hazratganj area.

A police team was sent to Singh’s residence in Ballia on Wednesday night after he was expelled from the party, but was nowhere to be found, police said.

Sources say that Singh is in hiding somewhere in eastern UP.
