Rita Bahuguna Joshi UP Congress chief detained for alleged derogatory remarks against Mayawati

Rita Bahuguna Joshi UP Congress chief was detained yesterday night by the police in Ghaziabad on the charge of making derogatory remarks about Chief Minister Mayawati. In what could be termed as another political revenge by Mayawati Government – like Varun Gandhi case – this time a congress state chief is at the recieving end. Many see this as a reactionary move of CBIs activism in case against Ms. Mayawati.

A portion of the house, where Rita Bahuguna Joshi is living in Lucknow, was set on fire allegedly by ruling BSP activists but there was no casualty, police sources here said. Joshi’s house on Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg is located in a high security zone, a stone’s throw away from the chief minister’s secretariat, in Lucknow. No case has been registerd against anyone for this attack.
