UP Congress chief's Maya remark creates row
Headlines Today Bureau
Lucknow, April 8, 2010
Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Rita Bahuguna Joshi has landed in a
controversy following her remarks against state Chief Minister
Mayawati.
At a meeting of party workers in Basti area of the state on Wednesday,
Joshi attacked Mayawati for her statue-building spree and went to the
extent of commenting on her complexion.
"She got her statue worth Rs 5.5 crore made, and that too a dark one.
One has to see how its nose and ears are. One of her statues fell
short in height than Ambedkar's so she got it replaced. Is she trying
to measure up to Ambedkar's stature?" Joshi said. Mayawati and Joshi
have been at war since Joshi took over as chief of the Congress in
Uttar Pradesh.
Joshi had earlier made the infamous rape remark against Mayawati
following which BSP workers attacked her house and set it afire.
