Rita says there is threat to her life

Abdi has reportedly been made the chairman of the state owned ‘Ganna Sansthan’, a post enjoying the status of the minister of state rank. Abdi, along with Faizabad MLA Babloo Singh have been named in the FIR lodged by the Congress in connection with the arson case.

Sources said that the order making him the chairman of the Sansthan was issued late on Sunday night. Joshi sharply criticised the appointment and said that it showed that the chief minister had scant regard for law.

Joshi, who visited her torched house here on Monday, vowed to continue to fight against the “misrule” of BSP  government.Joshi said: “The person, who can get my house torched, can also get me eliminated.”

The Congress leader declared that her party would launch an agitation to press its demand for a CBI probe into the arson case if the same was not conceded by the government by July 31 next.
