The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has expelled its Rajasthan unit leader Sandeep Dayma over his controversial remark on Gurdwara. The decision to expel Dayma was announced by Onkar Singh Lakhawat, the chairman of the Rajasthan BJP's disciplinary committee. "Sandeep Dayma has been expelled from the party on the direction of the state president for making a statement against the ideology of the party," the notification released by the party said on Sunday.

Senior BJP leader and former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, among others, had called for his expulsion. Sandeep Dayma in an election rally at Rajasthan's Alwar, made an outrageous remark, which triggered the Sikh community. In an election rally in support of the BJP's Balaknath, in Alwar, BJP leader Sandeep Dayma reportedly said, "See how many Mosques, Gurdwaras have been built here! This will become an ulcer for us in the future. That is why it's our duty that this ulcer be uprooted and thrown out, and Baba Balak Nathji win by a huge majority."
