Mayawati wants a bigger statue of herself :
"She may be diminutive, but the fiery, low-caste leader of India's most populous state has no patience for short statues of herself.
Mayawati, the 5-foot (1.52-meter) tall chief minister of Uttar Pradesh state in northern India, ordered officials to replace a 12-foot (3.7-meter) bronze statue of herself because it was 3 feet (a meter) shorter than other nearby statues."
Shivaji statue :
"The bronze statue would memorialize Shivaji astride a horse and brandishing a sword. It would be located on an island about 1.5 kilometres off downtown Mumbai's posh Marine Drive. And with its pedestal, it would stand 1.2 metres taller than New York's Statue of Liberty.
But such grandiosity does not come cheap - the statue, along with an adjacent museum and garden is projected to cost about $25 million."
Nice! What next?
