The Dictator staring Mayawati


Mayawati was born 15 Jan 1956. She served four terms as Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh  and as head of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), The rise in her personal wealth and that of her party have been criticized as indicative of corruption.

 

Taj corridor Scandle

In 2002 the Infrastructure in Taj Heritage Corridor was under renovation by the government of Uttar Pradesh, includes the Taj Mahal. Later Taj Expressway was under construction, Mayawati not only gave the land for constructing express highway connecting Agra to New Delhi for free to Jaypee builders but also exempted the Stamp duty of Rs 50 Crore. The Total expense of the express way is Rs 2500 Crore and the Taj Corridor Scam is of Rs 175 Crore
Birthdays
Mayawati’s birthdays have become major media events at which she has appeared laden with diamonds. Her supporters have declared her birthday as Jan Kalyankari Diwas (People's Welfare Day). In 2009 the day was marked by the announcement of welfare schemes targeted towards poor and downtrodden people of the state and in 2010 by the launch of programmers with a value of over   7,312 crore. (Source Wikipedia)

Her Wealth

The wealth Details mayawati submitted at the Rajya sabha during the nomination process showed Rs 111 crore it has been doubled with in 2years. It means that 1 crore per month is her monthly income.

 

Statues

She made statues of all the dalit Icons like Gautam Buddha, Ravidas, Narayana Guru, Joytira Phule, Shahuji Maharaj, Periyar, Ramasami, Ambedkar, Kanshi Ram and HERSELF…. WHAT?
Total Money spends on Statues and Memorial garden is more than Rs 40,000 Crore.  Its agreed that stautes of Datil leaders were based on sentimental values but why Rs 40,000 Crore?? and why statue of herself. Even Saddam Hussan would have thought twice before spending such a huge amount on Statues of himself. And besides it’s our hard earned money which we give as tax to the government.

Egoistic Leader

The world bank loaned India money for development projects and Mayawati was suppose to manage the money in UP. But her government instead of managing it smoothly made hurdles in the functioning of the development projects by making changes in preplanned and on schedule projects. When the World Bank made a complaint in writing to central government of india. Mayawati said that the letter is FAKE. Later she stated that it was due to misunderstanding and she decreased the transfers, Stopped creating new post and temporally reduced the expenditure on vehicles and furniture.   



Wiki-Leaks allegations

According to United States diplomatic cables passed to WikiLeaksMayawati, Chief Minister of the Indian northern state Uttar Pradesh, made use of her private jet to have sandals collected from Mumbai.
One cable, named "Portrait of a Lady", recently published by WikiLeaks describes the 55-year-old Mayawati as, "a first-rate egomaniac who is obsessed with becoming prime minister".
"When she needed new sandals, her private jet flew empty to Mumbai to retrieve her preferred brand," a cable dated October 23, 2008 states; adding, the chief minister is paranoid about her security and fears assassination, employing food tasters to guard against poisoning. The US embassy documents state Mayawati celebrates her birthday each year by receiving millions of dollars in gifts from party members, civil servants and business people whilst officials compete for a chance to feed her CAKE. Mayawati also made a state minister do sit-ups in front of her as punishment for a minor protocol error.
Further allegations report a cost of $250,000 to run as a parliamentary candidate for the BSP headed by Mayawati; this allegedly due to institutionalised corruption. "She constructed a private road from her residence to her office, which is cleaned immediately after her multiple vehicle convoy reaches its destination," the cables claim.

The Great Indian Loot



Few days back while browsing the net I Came across a Book on Google books which holds the complete accounts of the Trade and Tax revenue of the British East India Company. People in India are always, since childhood, been taught that the Britishers Looted, plundered India and such ignorant things. But what about the Indian Politicians, who do the same thing. The British East India revenue records show us how much the company had taken away from India. I have taken  into consideration the period when East India Company Flourished till the queen dissolved it in 1857. The total span is about 64 years and the total Span of India's independence is also about 66 years. It becomes easy to compare the total amount of wealth drained from India during both the reigns . 


From the Record
To an show the state of the Company's finances at home and abroad, submitted to the select Committee of the House of Commons, on the 1st of April, 1808, by the Court of Directors, an account was annexed, showing the amount of the Indian revenues and charges, and of the surplus or deficit of 
the former, from 1793-4 to 1807-8 inclusive, together with the state of the Indian debt through the same space of time. From this account the following 
extract is made in the document referred to, for the purpose of illustrating the position, that though the revenues of India have greatly increased, the expenditure has risen in a still greater degree.
* 2d Report, page 62. 

183 

In 1793, when the revenue was only eight million per Year, there was a surplus of £ 1,600,000; while in 1807-8, the second year of peace, when 
the income had advanced to fifteen millions a year, there was a deficiency of £ 19,097. 

So if we assume that the company had been making the Revenue of Fifteen million pounds per year from 1793 till 1857. Then we will get the amount of around 9.6 billion Pond (assuming that around 150% of growth in the value of British Pound, the actual amount in today’s time would be 14.4 billion pounds)

The above information is from the report of the committee of the House of Commons at the British Parliament.

In short
The period is about 64 years. The East India Company Rule in India and flourished in year 1793 and ended after the revolt of 1856 when the Queen dissolved the company and took the Indian provinces under her governance.

Now, after independence in 1947 India is governed by the Indian politicians. The government changed and the rules changed, but what had not changed is the idea of looting India. Now, let’s believe that the East India Company has taken approximately 150 billion pounds as illegal money i.e. around 225 billion pound and around 395 billion Dollars of today’s time.

Lets compare and see the figures with Indian political Scams since 66 years of independence.
