The Maya Stupa's

When i was a kid i had heard of stupa's which are a mount like structures containing relics of Buddhist saints. Nowadays madam Mayawati has decided to built stupa's to honour her greatness.Now that's what we call a megalomaniac. Wherever one goes in the state of UP one can find statues being built ,either dedicated to her or the late kanshi ram or Dr B R Ambedkar.There is no problem if a few statues are built and dedicated to the latter two leaders.The problem arises when thousands of crores of the exchequer money is being spent on such frivolous exercises in the name of empowerment of the dalits. It simply does not make any sense in a poor state like UP where the majority of the people have hand to mouth existence. The dalit community itself also would not be empowered in any way either. Had she built an educational institute for the dalits or some hospital in the memory of the late two leaders she would have gained widespread popularity among the denizens of her state. But she has other whims which has simply pissed off the citizens and has made them wonder whether its worth to pay taxes on their hard earned money. The sooner Mayawati realises this the better it is.
