Desi Cartman Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Undaunted by all the criticism from her adversaries, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati is set to get three more of her statues installed in the state capital where two imposing bronze memorials are already in place. An 18-feet-tall statue is proposed in the neighbourhood of BSP's Prerna Sthal (inspiration home) where Mayawati had got her first statue installed inside an imposing stone structure shaped like a Buddhist Stupa. The space for the statue was created after demolition of BSP's own office that was built barely four years ago on a 50,000 sq ft plot just behind the state Governor's house. The statue will adorn what has been christened Bahujan Nayak Park, being laid in place of the party's state headquarter, that has been shifted to a brand new building erected over the debris of a government bungalow. An identical statue is planned for Kanshi Ram Memorial that was coming up on a sprawling 32-acre plot of land taken from the Lucknow district jail. The memorial is slated to cost the state exchequer about Rs.3.5 billion. The third statue is likely to find place at a prominent spot in Mayawati's first ever dream project - Ambedkar Park cum Memorial that was being built on a giant scale at a cost of nearly Rs.5 billion. Officials dealing with the statue projects were tight-lipped. However sculptor Ram Sutar, who has been assigned to create the three statues in bronze, admitted that he was on the job and had been asked to accomplish the task at speed. "I have assured the administration I'll complete the statues in record time", he said. While none was willing to divulge the cost of these statues officially, it is said that each will weigh between 20 and 25 tonnes. Its shameful that when people are dieing in her state due to lack of medical facilities , poverty , communal violence etc etc ... she is busy installing more of her statues ...She is Susri Mayawati indeed !
Guest dada_rocks Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 She has taken cue from nehru family..... you know what I mean Rajeev Gandhi this Indira Gandhi that Nerhu few more thats in every nook and corner of India.. Anyone who didn't complain then should take this with indifference too.... In fact anyone who remained mum or supported Manmohan in latest guffaw of cash for vote should have no moral right to complain about Maywati's corruption either.. This business of my thug is better than your thug must stop..

Ram Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 What trash! Hate this 'hero worship' thingy. The worst exhibition of 'Larger-than-life-figure' phenomenon I have seen in my life so far was in Tamil Nadu, when Jayalalithaa was in Cheif Minister. Men, who were most of the times older to her, would prostrate in front of her. Utterly disgusting.
Guest dada_rocks Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 MM I thought by now you have gotten used to it...If it's kosher for Nehru family it's kosher for Mayawati.. We can't have double standard
Desi Cartman Posted August 8, 2008 Author Posted August 8, 2008 I thought statues were installed only after the person dies .. Jinda aadmi ka putla ? I mean whats the sense .. ?
