Real Behen ji...Please Stand-up (Pic courtesy: Guardian.co.uk)
Lucknow. 16 June 2009.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister (Behen Kumari) Mayawati today woke up as a Marble-mixed-P.O.P. statue at her Golf Club Road bungalow. Doctors and State Parks and Statues Minister Santram Srivastava were immediately rushed to the site of Mayawati’s now-statued posture. Initial reports suggest that Mayawati’s stiffened posture resembles Britney Spears’ famous ‘Gimme More’ pose with one hand on an imaginary microphone and another on her pelvis. Though some other reports are suggesting a more nuanced and sophisticated Gabbar Singh pose from Sholay, as if asking ‘Kitne statue they?’
Incidentally, her last words the night before her marblization were – “Enough with my statues! I don’t want to look self-important anymore. Let’s build a 200-ft statue of my leather bag.” Dr. Sudhir Verma, Sr. Psychiatrist at city’s Dr. Shyamaprasad Mukherjee Municipal Hospital pointed that “obsession turning into reality can’t be denied. Though she may be acting as a ‘naatakbaaz’ here to get more attention.”
That faraway look
Meanwhile, State Marble and Plaster of Paris Supplies Minister Ashok Kumar has checked and confirmed that the “quality of material in Behenji’s new avatar is good enough to be installed as a statue in the state capital. If only Behenji could speak up and tell, where to install!”

\”Gimme More\” and \”leather bag\” were hilarious! I guess she ordered her leather bag – \”statue!\” while she herself was inside it!

Behenji….may actually be inspired by this article and for your suggestion, her leather bag statue would be installed in Lucknow infront of your house…
Though there is a catch, the statue would be blocking the main entrance of the house.
All the best

Haa haa….haan yaar…aisa ho toh sakta hai. Aur humaare ghar se Ambedkar Park bhi door nahin tha!
@Animesh
Shall we blame it on ur new ‘Magic’?
@Siddharth
And the most WTF thing about her statues is the leather bag…so had to dig it out.
Glad that somebody found the ‘mouse-over’ text.

Mayawati has demanded a slit in the leather bag statue, so that people can directly slip “chanda” into it.

Mayawati needs to rethink her life objectives.. may be she wants a temple in her name… instead of the just the statues… !!! and the bags,,,

The symbolism of the ‘bag’ is bang on target.
BR Ambedkar gave us the constitution, so in every statue of his, he has a book in his hand.
Mayawati has only hoarded public and ‘chanda’ money, so she has a handbag/ purse in her hand.
Incidentally she is one of the highest tax payers in the country. Rs 26 Cr last year, purportedly more than Mr Mukesh Ambani!
