Jaipur, Nov 5: The BJP in Rajasthan on Sunday expelled a party leader in Alwar, Sandeep Dayma, over his derogatory remark on gurdwaras and mosques at a recent rally in the Tijara assembly constituency. The decision to expel Dayma was announced by Onkar Singh Lakhawat, the chairman of the Rajasthan BJP’s disciplinary committee.
“Sandeep Dayma has been expelled from the party on direction of the state president for making a statement against the ideology of the party,” Lakhawat said. The development comes after widespread criticism of Dayma’s remark at the rally in Tijara before the filing of nomination papers by BJP candidate Baba Balaknath for the November 25 Rajasthan assembly polls.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was also present in the rally. Speaking at a rally on Wednesday, Dayma reportedly said that mosques and gurdwaras that have come up will become “open sores” and those should be uprooted. Facing flak over the remark, Dayma, a former chairman of the Tijara Nagar Palika, issued a video apology, claiming that he intended to say “mosques and madrassas” but somehow ended up uttering the words “mosques and gurdwaras” by mistake.
