It’s all about maya (money maya) in Uttar Pradesh. I remember a song from Akshay Kumar’s film, “tu paisa paisa karti hai, paise pe kyu tu marti hai”. I don’t how much did this song make sense in the movie but definitely it make sense for the India’s biggest state, Uttar Pradesh.
Recent a law for ‘right to education for every child’ passed in the assembly. On one hand the effort of Central govt. was appreciated for putting this in place. At the same time on the other hand, statement was made by the Chief Minister of U.P. for the non-availability of the funds for implementing the law in the state.
Well a genuine person can only laugh at this.
Everyone knows how crores of money was invested/wasted in building monuments, statues of Mayawati and Kanshiram. She had money for constructing parks and monuments, she had money to wear a money garland but she doesn’t have money to implement right to education law in the state.
Probably what I can understand, Mayawati wants to create her own legacy as Kings & Mughals did in the past.
IN ANCIENT history, there were many dynasties and empires. Emperors spent lots of money on art and architect. Beautiful buildings were built, which shows the legacy and excellence of the king and his respective dynasties. In those tombs, they tried to show the deeds of the king, they have shown the proper court assembly or any other story, which shows the greatness of the king, was carved over the walls of the huge tombs. Buildings and monuments were made so that coming generation would get some idea about the king or its dynasty.
The time has passed away but there is still a kind of rabidity or a passion of showing off the legacy. Especially with the activities happening in Uttar Pradesh, I can figure out; not everything has changed; only the process of working has changed. King’s rule is absent only in name and minister rule is still there. Earlier governments used to be by the king but for the people, but now, it is by the minister/Chief Minister and for the minister/Chief Minister.
A newspaper had published the photograph of the memorial. Two huge metallic tombs were facing each other. A howling metallic round shape stupas were standing. Each is built on a 20-foot-high platform across five lakh square feet of area and standing about 200 m away from the main structure of the building.
The stupas were built in Lucknow and are believed to be the biggest dome in the country. Mayawati has spent lot of time, money and land over the project. An elephant gallery with 60 stone statues of BSP’s election symbols and a gallery with statutes of six Dalit icons . Three statues of Mayawati have already been installed. The project initiated on 23 acres since Mayawati’s first tenure as CM, is now spreads across 123 acres in Gomti Nagar, Lucknow.
Not only this, she had built at least seven memorials including parks like Mnyawar Kanshi Ram Memorial, Kashi Ram Bhujan Nayak Park, Ramabai Ambedkar Rally Maidan, etc. She has spent over crores in these projects.
How has she gathered such a huge amount of money and the land?
Well the fact is no one in the state can dare to ask this question. But she has the courage and guts to demand money from the Central govt. to implement a law.
In this new millennium, on one hand all nations are looking eagerly towards India and are willing to partner/work closely. There at the same time a state of India, capable to invest hundreds of crores of money for construction demands money to implement a law.
Being an idealistic youth of this country, it’s my opinion. These incidents only bring pain and grief in my heart. I don’t know where and when these dirty political games would be over but I do know is that everything has an end date and one day it will definitely end.
Please do mention your thoughts as well.
With Love!!!
