Mayawati Statues in Mayaland
Jul 10, 2009
A year ago, a drive from Noida to Delhi would mean greenery all around.But now a concrete wall greets you for a couple of kilometers. When one stops to find out what has changed, all one sees is construction and more construction.A look at the pillars gives one a good idea. The Ashoka Pillar lookalikes have elephants instead of lions which will welcome you to UP chief minister Mayawati’s sandstone memorial bearing statues of Kanshi Ram and Mayawati.
A whopping sum of 11 hundred crores is supposedly being spent for the stucture which can instead be used in some way for the masses.
There are several residents in Noida who have voiced there concerns against the buliding of these statues and monuments.People like Vineet Chaudhary don’t share Mayawati’s sentiments and hence filed an RTI in protest and was told that only 22 trees were cut. But thousands of them seem to have disappeared.
The apex court had on June 29 issued notice to the Uttar Pradesh government on Kant’s petition, alleging misuse of public funds for the installation of statues of Mayawati, Kanshi Ram and that of elephants - BSP’s election symbol.
However as always the voice of the masses have once again been supressed and the Government elected by us has defied our sentiments and gone ahead with giving an approval to this rather bizzare structure.It is stated that the apex court can not interfere in the matter in which the approval has been granted by the state Cabinet.
Kindly have a look at the comments on the article written by Anasuya Roy,NDTV http://www.ndtv.com/news/india/mayan_pillars_on_delhi-noida_road.php?page=1 and the latest verdict by the Supreme Court on http://www.ndtv.com/news/india/cant_stop_maya_from_installing_statues_sc.php
