Dayashankar Singh has been sacked from the ruling BJP and rumours have it that he would be kept out for six years at least. But what of the others who dot the BJP and Modi Regime’s Power Map landscape from MOS External Affairs VK Singh who’s ‘Just like a Dog remark’ against Phugana's Dalit children did not evince the same political consequences nor of course Sadhvi Niranjan’s ‘Haraamzaadaon’ remark against Indian Muslims. She still remains MOS in the Food Processing ann Industries Ministry and the former, VK Singh, MOS External Affairs.
Is it only the UP state elections that have prompted the Modi-Shah combine to act?
The most recent of such verbal offenders from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was of course, promptly removed from the regional head of the party in charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh. Remember polls are due, and the co option of Dalit leaders and through them votes is paramount.
Dayashankar Singh used the most objectionable language to describe a tall leader among Dalits, chief of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) Ms Mayawati. Calling her a prostitute and accusing her of selling tickets (assembly and parliament) Dayashankar Singh who now finds himself out in the political cold for six years, revealed a pathetically narrow and vicious mindset.
This time the BJP was prompt and Amit Shah-Modi combine must have lost some hours of sleep on what this may mean given the unravelling of the Gujarat model in their home state where Dalit protesters have held persistent protests since last Monday (July 18) over the lynching and humiliation of Dalit tanners on July 12.
But what about the other influential powerful verbal abusers within the BJP, in Parliament and even in the Modi cabinet? Why were and are they not given the same peremptory stern treatment that Dayashankar was? This is not the first time that filthy and objectionable verbal use has sounded out from the top echelons of the powerful in this Regime.

Mahesh Sharma, Minister, Culture, “At least Akhlaq’s Daughter was Not Touched”
October 4, 2015
"It (the murder) took place as a reaction to that incident (cow slaughter). You must also consider that there was also a 17-year-old daughter in that home.
