Rebel BSP leader Swami Prasad Maurya today said that there was no place for foul language and violence in politics.
"Irrespective of the fact that which person is using derogatory language against whom, it mentally hurt the person to, Maurya told reporters here.
He said, "The manner in which words used by expelled BJP leader Dayashankar Singh are condemnable and undemocratic, the same applies to utterances of BSP workers against women members of his family."
Maurya said that all political parties should abstain from the culture of abusive language and violence.
He said that it was more surprising that the parties, which had never in the past launched agitation over public issues were today taking to the streets on the issue of abuse against abuse, which was laughable.
The rebel leader said that Mayawati was praising herself by calling herself deity of Dalits, but never spoke about atrocities against Dalits in more than four years.
"Similar is the condition of BJP," he said.
