Supreme Court News - BSP chief Mayawati gets big relief from SC, this high profile case closed after 15 years

Supreme Court News: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati has got a big relief from the Supreme Court. On January 15, the Supreme Court has disposed of the PIL filed against making statues of her and her party's symbol elephant by spending crores of rupees from the government treasury during her tenure as Chief Minister. The Supreme Court has stopped hearing on the petition filed against Mayawati.

This claim was made in the petition

According to the information, the Supreme Court stopped hearing this case considering it old. This petition was filed by Supreme Court lawyer Ravikant in the year 2009. It was alleged in the petition that Mayawati misused public money during her tenure as Chief Minister and got statues of BSP's election symbol elephant made in many parks of Lucknow and Noida. The petitioner had demanded that the public money be reimbursed from BSP and the Election Commission should be directed to seize the election symbol of BSP. However, the Supreme Court rejected this petition.

Double happiness on birthday

This decision is also special for Mayawati because it came on the same day when she was celebrating her 69th birthday. This decision is being seen as a big victory for Mayawati and her supporters. There is an atmosphere of enthusiasm among BSP workers after this decision of the court.

Statues were installed in Lucknow and Noida

During her tenure as Chief Minister, Mayawati had installed statues of herself, BSP founder Kanshi Ram and the party's symbol elephant in many parks in Lucknow and Noida. About Rs 52.20 crore was spent on this project. The petition claimed that this was a waste of government money and a violation of the guidelines issued by the Election Commission.

Mayawati's side

At that time, Mayawati had denied the allegations against her. She had said that the elephant statues installed in the parks are merely a part of the architectural design and have nothing to do with the party's symbol. Mayawati had also said that proper budget allocation was made for the construction of these memorials. According to her, the purpose of these memorials was to inspire the Dalit society.

Mayawati, who has been the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh four times, had stressed that monuments and statues represent the wishes of the public. She also said that these monuments are symbols of social justice and equality, which inspire people standing on the margins of society.

Wave of happiness among BSP workers

This decision of the Supreme Court has brought a wave of happiness among BSP workers. Many senior leaders of the party have described it as a proof of the validity of Mayawati's leadership and her policies. Supporters say that this decision exposes the truth of BSP's ideology and the decisions taken during Mayawati's tenure.

Conclusion

This relief given to Mayawati by the Supreme Court is considered important for her political career. This decision has not only boosted the morale of BSP workers, but has also strengthened the image of the party. This decision of the court also makes it clear that timely hearing and ending old cases is necessary to avoid misuse of PILs. This decision has proved to be a big gift for Mayawati on her birthday.
