Singh accused Mayawati, leader of the Bahujan Samaj Party, of selling party nominations for state elections for millions of rupees and said “her character is worse than that of a prostitute.” PATNA, INDIA — Indian police on Friday arrested a Hindu nationalist leader on charges alleging he insulted a senior female politician by describing her as “worse than a prostitute.”Police officer Upendra Kumar Sharma said Dayashankar Singh was arrested in his hometown in Bihar state where he was found hiding in a relative’s home.
