In 2014, when Maurya was a member of Bahujan Samaj Party, he had said addressing a gathering, “Goddess Gauri or Lord Ganesha should not be worshipped during weddings. It is a conspiracy by upper caste-dominated system to mislead and enslave Dalits and backward castes.”When asked, Maurya laughed off the development saying, “All this and much more will happen now.”Earlier, while talking to NDTV, Maurya had said that his resignation from the UP cabinet has caused an earthquake in the BJP. He had further asserted that he has left the BJP and there was no question of going back. With IANS inputs
