After Delhi BJP leader, his wife loses campaign post over slapping video

Tiwari told The Indian Express, “Some videos were brought before the party in which Chaudhary could be seen slapping her husband. So the decision was taken. Both of them being removed from the posts will also allow the committee to investigate the matter without any biases.” Chaudhary did not respond to calls and messages seeking a comment.

Another senior BJP leader said the party had looked at videos of both leaders allegedly indulging in violence and cross-FIRs filed by each against the other before arriving at the decision.

The BJP had removed Singh from his post Thursday after videos of him slapping Chaudhary at the party’s office in Pant Marg, in front of several party members, emerged. Singh had at the time claimed his wife had also abused and attacked him.

The incident had taken place when district BJP leaders were returning from a meeting chaired by Union Minister Prakash Javadekar. Since then, there have been three more incidents of party leaders indulging in violence or verbal spats in Kirari, Gokulpuri and Dwarka. Tiwari had Monday told The Indian Express that such incidents will be dealt with sternly.
