Police secured an arrest warrant on Monday against expelled BJP leader Dayashankar Singh from the court of a special judge. Singh’s mother, Tetra Devi, lodged an FIR against Mayawati, BSP leaders Nasimuddin Siddiqui, Ram Achal Rajbhar and Mewa Lal and other BSP workers. Singh’s wife, Swati, also met governor Ram Naik, demanding action against the BSP leaders. An FIR was lodged against Singh and police carried out raids at his Lucknow and Ballia residences to arrest him. Singh is in the eye of the storm for his derogatory remarks against BSP chief Mayawati.
