Sab Baba Ji Ki Maya Hai
Come next election, there is a mayawi bonanza in stored for Maharashtra. Not that they have not been already promised many, but this one is special because it comes straight from one and only Mayawati.
Mayawati has announced that, if she gains power in Maharashtra, the first thing she will do is create a separate Vidharbha state. Nothing new in that, but the real news is that she has already decided upon the name of the new state . She was all smiles, ear to ear, when she announced the name, as if the new state was her own child. The name of the new state will be Dr. Ambedkar Vidharbha !
Finally, Baba Saheb returns to his native state. His soul must have been feeling very home sick for quite a long now. He, like Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj, have been forced upon every city and village in Uttar Pradesh, for ten years now. Their soul must rest in peace now. King George Medical College, Lucknow was changed Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar Medical University. Ex and current Georgians cried murder but nothing doing. Finally Mulayam came to their rescue and reverted to old name.
Kanpur University was named after Shahu Ji Maharaj. Till then, I hadn't heard his name. Later I came to know he was a king of Solapur. CM Shinde faced a lot embarrassment for doing nothing of that sort for his constituency, when Behen ji was felicitated in this town. There is a district called Ambedkar Nagar in Uttar Pradesh now. 75 % of villages are called Ambedkar village, with Baba saheb's statues adorned. Like Maharashtra, almost every busy square in every city has some Ambdekar, Shahuji Maharaj or some one else's statue. Lucknow has a Ambedkar University, notorious Ambedkar Park. Mayawati even carved out a district Mahamaya Nagar out of Aligarh.
I hope people in Maharashtra are intelligent enough not to fall into her trap. People here are much educated and despite with their misadventures with Shiv Sena, they know better than my folks in Uttar Pradesh. Mayawati is a disease for which, prevention is better than cure. Just don't let her in.
