More Nonsense Over The Statue

"

The government on Friday said it was "proud" of contributing towards building a statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, whose legacy future generations should know about.

Err.. How much could they get to know by looking at a statue?! You want the future generations to KNOW about Patel's legacy?! - Dedicate a wing in the library/libraries to books on Sardar Patel. Hell, make an entire library housing books on Sardar Patel. Include more chapters in course books relating to Sardar Patel. Wouldn't that make more sense than building a giant statue?

If ever the population of that shit country is in a reasonably good condition (consider the factors including but not limited to the social/healthcare/economic/infrastructural health) then you can erect your statues.

Seriously - You allocate INR 150 Crores to Women Safety while giving away INR 200 Crores to a bloody statue? What is the message here?

Cunt of the century - Ravi Shankar Prasad barks:

"

More than Rs 4000 to 5000 crore has been spent on the statue with contributions from different quarters. The Sardar Patel legacy has to be told to future generations. Should statues only be restricted to Nehru (Jawaharlal) and Indira Gandhi ... We are very proud of building a statute of Sardar Patel,"

Not sure if this is a typo or Ravi Shankar Prasad is being his usual idiotic self. The thing is - It has been published time and again that the bloody Statue of Unity will cost INR 2,000 to 2,500 Crores (INR 20-25 Billion) [Wiki Link, TOI Link, NDTV Link]. So how come Ravi Shankar Duffer Chutiya Prasad claims having already collected and spent INR 4,000 to 5,000 Crores (INR 40-50 Billion)?!?!

It could be a typo but it shouldn't come as a surprise if Ravi Shankar got it wrong (He usually gets most of his facts wrong).

Dikhaawon pe mat jaao. Apni akal ladaao.

There should be a rule / law - Anyone suggesting building of a statue will first have to have a scale-model of said statue shoved up his/her ass. At least that would (hopefully) put some check on the ridiculous demands for more statues.
