BJP sources in New Delhi said, the party leadership would now take action against Jaswant Singh and Subhash Mahariya, former minister, who has filed his nomination as independent from Sikar.
If expelled, this will be the second time Jaswant Singh will be expelled from BJP. He was expelled from the party on July 16, 2009, when he had written a book "Jinnah: India-Partition, Independence" praising Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan.
Even the Congress jumped into the fray by offering to give its symbol to Jaswant Singh, but the latter, a diehard BJP loyalist, refused.
