Self glorification of Mayawati

Rs.2000 crores spent by Mayawati just to make her statues.
I was utterly shocked. I have seen politicians do some real bad stuff during my lifetime. But this just seems as a new low.
How is she still on power is a mystery to me.

here is no mystery as such in her Political success. She has brought dalits of entire nation under one umbrella. They look up to her as the most powerful and exclusive representative of their interests in national politics. A massive Dalit vote bank and a sympathetic Brahimn clan has safeguarded the stability of her regime. She acts and rules like an autocrat , keeping a safe distance from the Center and giving little hid to the course of national interest. Mayawati and Saddam Hussian both are similar in their obsession of self glorification. Like Saddam, Maya believes in spending billions to erect her won statue. She has successfully finished couple of multicrore projects without drawing any flak from Center and judiciary. Center always not to malign Maya's ambitious projects. Maya has always played upon the the political constrains of the ruling Government in the Center.
