    New Delhi: The war of words between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress over the serial bomb blasts in Bangalore and Ahmedabad has intensified.

    Senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj has raised an accusing finger at the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance Government for the blasts in Bangalore and Ahmedabad.

    "The blasts in Bangalore and Ahmedabad reek of a conspiracy to divert attention from the cash for vote allegations and also to bring back the Muslim vote which the Government has lost due to the nuclear deal," Sushma alleged.

    Sushma also hinting at a conspiracy to the fact that two BJP ruled states came under attack in 24 hours.

    "The attacks in two BJP-ruled states in a span of two days and within four days of the UPA Government winning the confidence vote has some meaning and what I am saying is proved by enough circumstantial evidence," she said.

    The Congress reacted strongly to Sushma's charge.

    Congress Spokesperson Manish Tiwari said the party would be responding legally to BJP's charge.

    "How can she make such an irresponsible statement? We will take legal recourse," Tiwari said.

    Congress media cell chief M Veerappa Moily, too, reacted angrily to BJP's accusations.

    "Sushma Swaraj's words are outrageous and full of venom against the Congress. The BJP has forgotten the tenets of dharma after losing the trust vote. They are linking the terror attacks with the loss in the trust vote. This matter is above politics and above religion. We will take the matter to the court if required," Moily said.

    Meanwhile, the UPA is reported to be considering postponing the Monsoon Session of Parliament from August to November.

    The ruling alliance is believed to be worried about being hit by criticism from the Opposition over the terror strikes in Bangalore and Ahmedabad and the cash for votes allegations.

    The National Democratic Alliance met on Monday and is reportedly planning about bringing a No Confidence Motion against the Central Government. It is upset with reports about a possible postponement of the Monsoon Session of Parliament.
