Maya stands for statues.

It is right on the part of Mayawati to cancel the order of the so-called State Principals’ Council of aided colleges to ban girl students from wearing jeans on campus. The council of principals and academics often take autocratic decisions elsewhere in the country and hence UP Government’s decision is a welcome step. However, the decision of the UP CM to spend crores from State Exchequer to meet the expense of installing statues of her and her leader Kanshiram elsewhere in the State is out of the ordinary. Later these statues will turn out to be destinations of spoilsport for her political opponents as she could not remain in power all the time in UP to protect these statues.
