The dispute between Swati Singh, who was a minister in the Yogi government and her husband Dayashankar Singh, is increasing. Swati Singh reached the family court on Monday to reopen the divorce case. Just before the election, the dispute between husband and wife came into the limelight after an audio of Swati Singh went viral.
After this BJP cut the ticket of Swati Singh and fielded Dayashankar Singh from Ballia Nagar. Dayashankar Singh has also become an MLA by winning the election. There are strong chances of him becoming a minister as well. In such a situation, with Swati Singh reaching the family court, it is feared that Dayashankar Singh’s path will be difficult once again.
Swati Singh had applied for divorce from Dayashankar in the court in 2012. But after becoming a minister, the case was stopped. In 2018, the family court had closed the case after both the parties did not reach the court.
On Monday, Swati Singh reached the family court to reopen the case. On his application, Additional Principal Judge Family Court Shruti Srivastava has reserved the order. Now the next hearing will be held on May 5.
Talking to the media after coming out of the family court, Swati Singh said that our dispute is going on since 2012. Divorce application has already been filed. Came here in connection with the same. What will happen to the children after divorce? On this question, Swati Singh said that the children will stay with me. What will be the impact on Dayashankar Singh becoming a minister? On this question, Swati Singh said that there is Modi ji in the country and Yogi ji in the state. In such a situation, no woman can be harassed.
Swati suddenly entered politics and became a minister
Dayashankar Singh had made objectionable remarks on BSP supremo Mayawati before the 2017 assembly elections. Then the BJP came on the back foot and expelled Dayashankar Singh from the party. Meanwhile, BSP leaders including Naseemuddin Siddiqui made indecent remarks against Dayashankar’s wife Swati Singh and her daughter.
Making this an issue, Swati Singh had opened a front against Mayawati and BSP leaders. Seeing the firebrand image of Swati Singh, the BJP directly made her the President of the State Mahila Morcha. Then in 2017 he made a candidate from Sarojininagar seat. After winning the election, he was also made a minister.
Due to the controversy, this time Swati’s ticket was cut.
This time the BJP had fielded husband Dayashankar instead of Swati Singh. Dayashankar Singh has won from Ballia in the elections and is in the race to become a minister. Earlier Dayashankar Singh and Swati were seeking ticket to contest from Sarojininagar seat of Lucknow. On the claim of husband and wife on the same seat, the party had fielded Rajeshwar Singh from Sarojininagar by cutting Swati’s ticket. While Dayashankar was fielded from Ballia Sadar seat.
