Mayawati to Install Three More of Her Own Statues

According to the Yahoo India, Mayawati, the current Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh will install three of her own statues in the state capital.

Who is paying for the expense? You guessed it right... It will be the state government or in other words the Uttar Pradesh tax payers. And the justification of installing these three statues according to Mayawati herself is, "I always felt that memorials should be built during the lifetime of icons."

If by any chance she becomes the next Prime Minister of India, which is highly likely, then don't be surprised if her statues start creeping up all across the country.

But my favourite line from the
article is, "Mayawati's arch adversary Mulayam Singh Yadav has not only condemned her fad for installing her own statues but also threatened to get these bulldozed once he came to power." If Mulayam does come to power and keeps his promise, then who will pay of the demolishing of these statues; the Uttar Pradesh tax payers again. Either way statues or no statues, Mayawati or Mulayam, its win win for the politician and lose lose for the tax payers.
