ALLAHABAD: The derogatory remarks of Dayashankar Singh questioning the character of Mayawati were "admittedly reprehensible", but the response by the BSP supremo and her supporters has been "even more outrageous", Union Minister Anupriya Patel today said. "There is no denying that the words used by Dayashankar Singh were admittedly reprehensible. "The words that Singh used undermined a woman's dignity and that is why he has drawn flak from his own party. "However, the way the BSP supremo and her supporters have been reacting, is even more outrageous," the Apna Dal MP said. "But it is appalling that Mayawati is approving of the vicious campaign by her party supporters who are publicly abusing the expelled BJP leader's female family members in the most abominable fashion," Patel said.
