New Delhi, July 16 (ANI): Congress President Sonia Gandhi expressed regret over the remarks made by UP Congress chief Rita Bahuguna Joshi against Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati, but at the same time described the actions of the Uttar Pradesh Government as high handed.
Earlier in the day, Mayawati condemned Gandhi for remaining silent on the Joshi incident, and said it was shameful that she had not taken any action against Joshi.
Mayawati also accused that Gandhi of being behind the statement issued by Joshi against her.
Mayawati said the comments by Joshi were unpardonable and it was wrong to blame the Bahujan Samaj Party for the attack on Joshi’s house. She alleged that Congress workers were behind the arson attack. (ANI)
