Now, Rita Bahuguna's 'colour' swipe at Mayawati
TNN, Apr 9, 2010, 03.00am IST
LUCKNOW: Yet another slip of tongue has landed UP Congress chief Rita
Bahuguna Joshi in a fresh controversy. Famous for her no-holds-barred
one-liners, Joshi went a little overboard at a public rally on
Wednesday and took a swipe at CM Mayawati's penchant for raising
statues that are dark and not pleasing aesthetically.
Addressing a 'Kisan Naujawan Rally' at Haraiyya, a small hamlet in
Basti, Joshi had questioned the logic behind Mayawati's obsession with
installing "statues so dark that their ears and nose cannot be seen.
(Kali-kali moortiyan jinke naak aur kaan bhi nahin samajh mein ate
hain)." And though her intent, she emphasizes, was "not to attack any
person but inanimate object", her "colourful" language has left party
colleagues red-faced amid rumours of a legal action being contemplated
against their chief.
Later, Joshi pleaded not to be misquoted. "I have said nothing
personal against the CM." She said her remarks cannot be termed
derogatory. "My statement is being distorted. I am not the kind who
would make a snide comment over colour or creed."
