BSP leader Mayawati told the apex court on Tuesday that the construction of her life-size statues and the party-symbol at various places in Uttar Pradesh represents the will of the people.
She also made a reference to the installation of statues such as that of Sardar Vallabhai Patel or Uttar Pradesh's government decision to construct Lord Ram's statue in Ayodhya. "Similarly, other political parties in power at both the Centre as well as state governments have also installed statues of various other leaders at public places at the cost of the public exchequer from time to time but neither the media nor the petitioners have raised any questions with respect to them."
However, the statement has not gone down too well with Twitterati. Here are some reactions:
Someone should ask @Mayawati where is 'Lord Ram's Statue'? https://t.co/uwT0t9gCxl

When RAM has a statue, why not Mayawati . RAM and kanshiram are not one and the same. Mind that

Mayawati is doing the worst politics

Lastly, she also said that elephant statues were not for the promotion of Bahujan Samaj Party but only a part of architectural design.
