hmm....maybe the garland would be worth it after all. If it can get Mayawati and her scumbag party kicked out of power.
This picture should be circulated throughout India, especially UP, and the taxpayers and the poor should know where the money went. They should see why BSP doesn't have funds to compensate victims.
Misuse of national funds. This is treason!

sherni aa meri vargi
Although I don't know about you but yes, she is. Officers in UP keep standing on there toes because of her. Where other parties secretly involves in corruption she do this openly. She knows the loop holes in Indian Law.
Some people told me that buses from UP roadways (govt. entity) were also used for her rally. Plus, individual targets (for people) were given to the rank holders in order to ensure the success of her rally.
She is a lady hitler

CHENNAI: AIADMK supremo J Jayalalithaa on Thursday unleashed her bag of freebies to Tamil Nadu electorates.
She has matched, if not outdone, arch rival DMK's manifesto, released a few days back. Here's a sample: While the DMK had promised 35 kg of free rice every month for below-poverty line families, AIADMK has promised 20 kg of free rice for all ration-card holders. If DMK wants to give women free mixies and grinders, its rival has added fans to the list. The ruling party has promised laptops to students in their first year of college. Jayalalitha is promising them one even as early as their eleventh standard.
DMK immediately latched on to the similarity. "It's a copycat manifesto," said DMK spokesperson and member of Parliament TKS Elangovan. "Whatever we said, they added one more (item)." Further, Elangovan said, "They were saying we are spoiling the people by giving freebies. Wonder why there's a sudden change in their mindset."
When asked to comment on the manifesto, a prominent AIADMK leader said, "Amma (Jayalalithaa) has released the manifesto. We partymen don't comment on it."
The AIADMK had steered clear of populism in the run-up to the 2006 Assembly elections , which it lost to the DMK. That election made news for the unprecedented offer of free colour TVs by the DMK. This time around the AIADMK, according to observers, has felt the need to indulge in populism. This, despite having two strong issues - corruption (the fallout of the 2G scam) and price rise - in its arsenal against the ruling party. The freebie war is getting its share of fierce critics. Political commentator Gnani Sankaran likened the two parties to "shopkeepers at Ranganathan Street (Chennai's busiest shopping area, known for its bargain prices)." He said, "Both the Dravidian parties are simply fooling the people."
Chennai-based advocate S Subramaniam Balaji said, "Everyone who's promising (such freebies) is equally guilty and equally liable to the disqualified." Just a few days back, Balaji had complained to the Election Commission that the freebies of DMK and PMK (one of the partners in the DMK coalition) amounts to about Rs 2 lakh a family. His contention is that this is purely a bribe. There are items in the AIADMK manifesto, however, which seem to target the current ruling family.
