Mayawati said in her affidavit that her statues came into being 'as the will of the state legislature to represent the will of the people'
The Supreme Court on Friday said it was of the tentative view that Mayawati had to deposit public money used for erecting statues of herself and elephants to the state exchequer
The remarks were made by a bench hearing a petition filed by an advocate who had contended that public money cannot be utilised for erecting own statues and for propagating the political party
The BSP chief's Twitter handle is @SushriMayawati, and the first tweet on it was posted on January 22.
The state government headed by Mayawati had built the memorials, statues and parks at a cost of over Rs 2,600 crore in Lucknow, Noida and few other places in the state
