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.
