BSP is behind the burning of Joshi's house in retaliation

LUCKNOW : The war between the BSP and Congress has intensified with BSP chief and Chief Minister Mayawati 'rewarding' the person who was allegedly behind torching of UPCC chief Rita Joshi's house in Lucknow, according to media reports. Sources said, BSP MP Intezar Abdi has been given the Deputy Chairmanship of the UP Sugar Corporation.

The Congress Party, which is demanding a CBI inquiry into the arson incident says, Intezar's promotion has proved beyond doubt that BSP is behind the burning of Joshi's house in retaliation against her speech. On Sunday, Rita Joshi rejected Uttar Pradesh government's CB-CID probe into the incident and reiterated her demand for a CBI inquiry. “I demand that the CBI probe what happened at my house in Lucknow. My party also wants this, because what happened is a state-sponsored crime,” said Joshi, whose house in Lucknow was set on fire on Wednesday night by a group of alleged BSP workers for her speech against Chief Minister Mayawati.
Joshi was given interim bail after being arrested on Thursday.
