Statue Police Approved in UP

    Another political victory for Mayawati. She proposed for a statue police to protect the statues of politicians (read, herself and her mentor's) and the state government (which is herself and her cronies) has approved it. Mayawati started erecting statues of herself and Kanshi Ram all around UP sometime back. Supreme court has put a stay on such construction for now. There has been no opposition to the statue police.
When the whole world is trying to fight extremism, this statue police would make sure no one defaces our "esteemed" politicians' statues.  This type of atrocious waste of money can happen only in India. We have enough money to squander it away but we do not have enough to feed our poor, to impart education, to provide clean water, to provide electricity.

    This is not the first time she has frittered away the public money. In the past she had spent crores of rupees on her birthday bash. It is not as if it is her own money. If it is, then it would anyways be embezzlement of funds, because being a public servant she could not have had so much money. She does not come from a traditionally rich family either. Why is there no opposing voice to what she is doing, other than the regular displeasure shown by some politicians ? There should be a law which should be passed against such things in order to stem this problem systemically. But who will do it, who has the political will to do it. It is all about you scratch my back and I will scratch your's.

    I very strongly feel that there has to be a public movement and this time it would be a second independence from our own politicians. Gandhi, Nehru and the like would be turning in their graves looking at the plight of the country, they helped create. They had such lofty ideals and ambitions for the independent India, which we are getting demolished by our politicians.
