It is matter of debate on why should political parties be allowed to use tax payers money for their own benefits in creating memorials of their leaders. With due respect to Man niya Kashiram Ji, Mayawati should think positively and spend money for development.
In fact this tradition of creating memorials is initiated by Congress and is taken forward by all other parties at national and regional levels. Delhi has memorials of many congress leaders beginning from JL Nehru, Shashtri, Indira Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi.There is also memorial for Choudhry Charan Singh, etc. in Delhi. In states also there is many examples with latest from Uttar Pradesh for creating memorial for their leaders.
This is a matter of national debate to reach on a comprehensive policy guidelines for creating memorials, otherwise these political outfits will keep ignoring development issues to make their political equations
