The statues and puppets of Mayavati.

here is a lady who has all the power in her hands which could change the destiny of the most populous state of this country. it was a victory of democracy. a lady who had the guts to put varun gandhi in jail when other governments were behaving like wet cats to goonda elements in their states.
i dont know who her advisors are, for she did such a wonderful job in greater noida with a team of efficient civil servants, but all the dreams come crashing down with her obsession for statues and puppets.
the making of one of her senseless parks just next to the okhla bird park is senselessness of the extreme kind. no official had the guts to say no to her project. she has reduced the officials of the state government to faithful sycophants. and now the central government is following suit.
even a common person knows that this has been a bird park for years. the bird lovers were appalled when they saw such senseless and useless construction going on near the sanctuary. but the courts dont see it. they are being fed reports by various government agencies. what judges say on basis of what can not be questioned in this country anyway.
and what are our journalists doing, jumping from one story to another in a hurry. they cant see this blatant violation of all laws. their animated news readers will be very excited about it for a few seconds, then they will leave it, like many other stories to die a natural death. the all powerfull media with its wealthy barons and energetic executives will be chattering powerlessly and sometimes mindlessly and many times with no affect at all. the officials and concerned people have perfected the art of ignoring them anyway, and the media has neither the inclination nor time to ask old questions.
when i asked a local person about what type of construction was going on , he said chidiyon ko dekhne ke liye yahaan par pakki jagah banegi. i am sorry but wild birds are not puppets. they are not lifetime paid employees who will dance to our tunes. they will stop coming here soon. we dont deserve them anyway.
