I love Mayavati.
I mean, how can you not?!! This Woman dominates like no other, thunders instead of talking, pays homage to herself and siphons off crores better than Ocean’s Eleven!
Also, she provides me with a lot of blog fodder 
(and that, I must say, is her saving grace 
)
Anyway, since I’m a loyal Mayavati follower and a keen watcher of her activities, its deplorable that I haven’t yet done a post on the private-Jet-Assange-gate (that rhymes!!) . A digression that I will proceed to correct, pronto!
So for the un-informed, my favourite politician got a mention in Wiki-leaks. That itself calls for a whoop of joy and distribution of sweets. The Behenji has ‘arrived’ and how 
.You can read the entire content of the leak here, but since I love the lady, I’ll do the honors and post the juicy parts here :-
“…the law and order situation in UP has improved only in that Mayawati has centralized corruption in her own hands.”
“One Lucknow journalist related a story in which a State Minister was forced to do sit-ups in front of her as penance for not first asking permission to call on UP’s governor.”
“Mayawati forced a civil servant to resign when she learned his daughter had joined the Congress Party in Delhi.”
“…..she employs nine cooks (two to cook, the others to watch over them) and two food tasters.”
“…..she constructed a private road from her residence to her office, which is cleaned immediately after her multiple vehicle convoy reaches its destination.”
Sadly, Mayavati doesn’t see how famous she has become, instead, she harps on how Assange must be admitted to the Agra mental asylum. She obviously believes that she was voicing the opinion of a hundred other politicians around the world, most of whom harbour the same opinion! But not so surprisingly, Assange’s wiki-leak only publicized what the entire population of India already knew! I wouldn’t word it here (her henchmen may just hunt me down and skin me to make her a new pair of shoes ). But I guess this image best depicts her growth :-
Assange, on his behalf, has sent across some witty quips to Mayavati’s outbursts. For now, he has the upper hand, because not one person in this country has an iota of doubt on the report (do you??). Says something about the state of our politics, doesn’t it? I mean, we know all this, yet we elect them. Sheesh 
.
Sab Maya hai, I guess
Note : cartoons sourced from Google images.
That was funny but sad for its very funniness post.
We know all this, yet elect them, says it all. Double, triple sheesh. We deserve the leaders we get for just that I suppose
Sincerely agree !
the last pic says it all…she was supposedly a teacher and we all know what teachers are paid, then she became politician and grew rich…the salary of MLA, MPs and chief minister’s aren’t enough to make them billionaires…
sadly caste and religion are two trump cards our politicians are never going to let go of… for anything and everything they would use it…unfortunately much of the larger population fails to understand that :’(
but I believe the days of such politics are about to end…. (a girl can hope
)
We all know the truth, don’t we?!
*Sigh*
We can only keep hoping (and praying) for a better future
I’m afraid that if Mayawati reads this, she’s think it’s a genuine tribute to her! She’ll think that people like “strong” leaders who don’t give a shit about anyone else’s opinion
LOL!!!
)
Then it would prove that she really is blind (other than being daft
ROFL at the cartoons
ROFL!! Funny and true
Absolutely
I so agree to what Shail said…its funny but sadly funny
Ditto
Lolz.. that was fun… yet pretty sad and If you’re from Lucknow it’s doubly sad. The entire city is dominated by huge Mayawati figures. Amazing how she has been able to get away with all this. I really won’t be surprised to see her becoming PM one day.
BTW sometimes your blog doesn’t allow me to post comments. .. as in the post just ends with those ads and the comments section is not there.. or is it that I can’t see it???
No idea about the comments section OM.
I think it might be a browser issue….try opening in Mozilla Firefox.
I use MF at work, because even I see some issues with the post draft window in IE.
Bikram’s
Made my day. Laughed loudly.Thanks for the same.
My pleasure
