July 22, 2016 08:54

Dayashankar Singh, the Uttar Peadesh BJP leader, who was expelled for making highly derogatory remarks against BSP chief Mayawati, is likely to surrender before the state police any time soon, said sources on Friday.

Singh is said to have consulted his lawyers in connection with FIR the lodged against him over abusive remarks against Mayawati.

Police on Thursday detained Singhs brother Dharmendra for questioning about the former's whereabouts.

Meanwhile, the BJP leader's wife Swati Singh has alleged harassment by BSP goons.

"BSP people are publicly making statements saying 'Unki patni, beti ko pesh karo'. My daughter is in trauma," Dayashankar's wife said.

"What BSP people are saying, is it not condemnable? Shouldn't such people be also removed from the party," she asked.
