Parties split over EC order to cover up Maya's statues
The Election Commission's order to cover up statues of elephants and of the UP chief Minister as part of the code of conduct is turning out a huge challenge to handle logistically. The exercise of working out details on which agency will handle the process, the type and colour of the material to be used and their size has begun. But with nearly 100 elephant statues to be covered and nearly a dozen of Mayawati its to be an exercise of massive proportions. Even as the BSP has filed a PIL against the order. The EC has ordered that all work be complete by 5 pm on Wednesday.
