Is This the Fate of the Taj Mahal?

The fifth phase of UP assembly elections 2012 is underway and Mayawati cannot be far from the mind, right? While her statues might have been veiled, what if the Dalit Queen fired a salvo which was totally unmissable?

Like below?!



Facts to chew over:

Cost of construction of Taj Mahal: USD 500 million (present value)

Cost of construction of Mayawati's statues: USD 400 million between 2007-2009, plus
                                                                     USD 500 million planned on future memorials

Take away:

Tucked inside those statues of elephants, Bagwati and Kanshi Ram are two Taj Mahals, at least! Howzzat?
