Daya’s wife meets Guv

Lucknow: Swati Singh, wife of expelled BJP leader Dayashankar Singh, who had questioned Mayawati’s character, on Sunday met Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik and lodged a complaint over foul language allegedly used by BSP workers against women of her family during their protests. Swati said that she had lodged an FIR against the ‘misdeeds’ of BSP workers led by Naseemuddin Siddqui “at the behest of Mayawati”. She submitted a CD containing video of the protest by BSP workers on Thursday and the Governor has assured that necessary action would be taken after examining it, Swati said. She alleged that during the protest, BSP workers raised objectionable slogans against her mother-in-law, daughter and herself. If Mayawati was ‘hurt’ by Singh’s remark against her, then slogans raised by BSP workers were ‘equally disturbing’ for Dayashankar’s family, she said, adding the BSP chief’s allegation that she is working on the directives of BJP is ‘completely baseless’.
