A day after UP Minister Swami Prasad Maurya quit the BJP, an arrest warrant was issued against him in a seven-year-old case. The arrest warrant is related to a 2014 case in which Maurya allegedly made objectionable remarks about deities. The matter will be heard on January 24 by a special MP-MLA court.

Uttar Pradesh minister Swami Prasad Maurya posted his resignation letter on Twitter on Tuesday.
