The recent controversy was brought out by Ravikant an advocate filing a PIL(Public Interest Litigation) against UP CM Mayawati for misusing the state funds of around 2000crores for erecting statues of her,her party symbol(Elephant) & Late leader Khashi Ramji all over Lucknow.
The Supreme Court has issued a Showcause notice to the State Govt regarding this issue.
But Maya was clever enough to unveil the statues 9 days ahead of the proposed statue unveiling ceremony fearing a stay from the court in this issue.Also Opposition SP leader Mulayam was planning a protest against this on July 3.
But she unveiled the statues(mostly half sculptured) days before these events just to show her power.
When asked about this she said "If the Indian Govt would've taken interest in unveiling the statues of Dalit icons Dr.Ambedkar & Khanshi Ramji she wouldnt have done this.
Ok she may be right but is this the way to show her "Dalit saviour"Image?
Does mere opening of Dalit icon statues bring up the standard of living of Dalits?
With around more than 5 crore people in UP striving in poverty does spending 2000Cr on statues get justified?No definitley not.
Instead it'll sow hatred in the minds of people which may turn up against her in the elections.
Instead of these statues which is used by crows and birds to excrete or used by other caste people trying to degrade the Dalits they may simply end up degrading these Dalit icon statues and even that of Maya's.
Instead of unveiling statues of her and other icons she can use the state funds to provide employment and upliftment of the Dalits.They dont need statues they need atleast some respect in this so called Secular state.So its hightime Maya stop spending state funds on statues and instead use it for upliftment of the deprived and denofied community..
If she does that she'll stand in the hearts of the people and her stature will rise.Not statues will do this..
