Statues Erected to Honour Great But Oppressed: Mayawati on SC View

A day earlier, the SC said Mayawati may have to deposit public money used for erecting her statues in Uttar Pradesh.

Statues and parks honour the great, but oppressed, tweeted Mayawati, a day after the Supreme Court observed that the former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister may have to deposit public money used for erecting statues of herself and elephants, the Bahujan Samaj Party’s symbol.

Marvellous Sthals/Memorials/Parks etc. built to honour hitherto ignored great Sants, Gurus and great men born in deprived and oppressed Dalit and OBCs are new grand identity and tourist attraction of Uttar Pradesh which gives regular income to government.
