THOUGHTLESS ACT by Kumari Mayawati...!

Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati has spent nearly Rs 2,000 crores for installing useless statues of herself.Such senseless wastage of public money must be criticised.She could have used this money for the cleaning the Ganges and the Yamuna. Through her thoughtless act,Ms Mayawati has devastated a big area that was a fully green zone.People are rightly angry with the Mayawati government for building memorials and statues with public money.However,it should be remembered that the United Progressive Alliance government spent an estimated Rs 400 crores of public money for advertising its achievements.The government has once again started a blatant campaign spree.The print media is understandably silent as they are the beneficiaries of this huge advertisement expenditure by government departments.And Ms Mayawati has justified her statue spree by saying that the installation of monuments erected in honour of men symbolising Dalit empowerment was done without cut in budget of educational,health or employment schemes.The courts should step in and order the recovery of money from those who authorised the advertisements.
