SC directs Maya govt to stop construction work
The Supreme Court on Friday gave six hours to the Mayawati-led UP government to stop all construction work related to its pet statue project, costing thousands of crores of public money, in Lucknow. Taking suo motu cognisance over news reports that the Mayawati government was going ahead with construction despite an assurance given to the apex court, a bench comprising Justice B N Agrawal and Justice Aftab Alam warned the state government of dire consequences for ‘playing with fire.’
The bench directed the government to remove all machinery from seven construction sites in Lucknow within six hours. Barring watch and wards staff, no person shall be allowed to be present in and around such sites after 7 pm, the court ordered.
IMO: A very correct decision, especially bearing in mind previous known facts about the Mayawati regime. But the behaviour is typical worst side UP behaviour. Mayawati has forfeited her right to continue as CM.
