Mulayam Singh Yadav Statue

A six-foot-tall statue of late Samajwadi Party (SP) patron Mulayam Singh Yadav installed at the party office here allegedly without prior permission was removed after a notice from the Nagar Palika Parishad, officials said on Tuesday.

The leader known for her mass appeal was rejected today across her home state. Of Uttar Pradesh's 403 seats, Mayawati will not win more than 100 seats, barely half the amount she had racked up in 2007. Mulayam Singh Yadav, the man she has loved to hate, will return to power as chief minister - his fourth term ends her hopes for a fifth.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati possibly finds the state police not qualified to protect Dalit memorials and statues on which she has spent over Rs 20,000 crore.

Constructions are on at Mayawati's pet memorial projects in Lucknow at break-neck speed, much against her own promise.

Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav said on Friday that he would bulldoze the statues if he could.
