Mayawati does not have time for governance or development, says Rahul
Already in the midst of a bitter row between BSP and Congress, Rahul Gandhi on Friday took potshots at the Mayawati government in Uttar Pradesh, saying there is place for statues and elephants in the state but not development and spoke of the need for Congress to come to power there.
On a thanksgiving visit to his constituency, the first after the Lok Sabha poll victory, he avoided any comments on the raging row over his party's state unit chief Rita Bahuguna Joshi's comments on the chief minister.
"There is place for statues and elephants (BSP symbol) but there should also be space for development and electricity," Gandhi said in an apparent reference to the controversy over erection of memorials for Kanshi Ram and statues of Mayawati in different parts of the state, spending huge sums of public money.
