Mayawati criticized

Criticizing the incident, Mayawati wrote in a tweet that ‘The grand Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar social transformation site built by the BSP government in UP in honor of the great saints, gurus, great men born in the neglected / despised Dalit and other backward classes in the country. It is a matter of shame and concern to steal the elephant in the area which is the main center of tourism.

2. The neglect being done in the protection, security and maintenance of the grand sites/monuments built by the BSP government earlier in the SP and now also in the BJP government is a matter of great concern while they are the source of tourism income. The work being done at the Shrikanshi Ramji memorial site and elsewhere is also very slack, the government should pay attention.
