Dayashankar was expelled by the BJP from the post of vice-president the UP unit after being booked under the SC/ST Act for his disparaging remarks against BSP chief Mayawati.

Photographs had appeared a couple of days ago that showed the absconding Singh praying on Saturday at a famous temple dedicated to Lord Shiva in Deogarh in Jharkhand. He is seen in the pictures with local BJP leaders, who reportedly released the photographs.
