Accusing Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati of having a feudal mindset,Opposition parties today alleged that she was spending crores of rupees of public money for installing statues of her family members.

Taking exception to plans to install statues of her parents at the ‘Rashtriya Dalit Prerna Sthal’ which she is scheduled to inaugurate in NOIDA on October 14,they said it reflected her feudal mindset.

“After statues of dalit icons like Ambedkar and Kanshi Ram have been set up at several places,Mayawati is out to install statues of her parents,” Congress spokesman Subodh Srivastava said.

Demanding that she should spell out whether she had any plans to install statues of other members of her family and what message she wanted to give to the people through the statues of her parents,Srivastava said it would have been different had she used her own wealth for this purpose.

Samajwadi Party spokesman Rajendra Chaudhary said that installing statues of chief minister’s family members using public money was both “immoral and condemnable”.
