India attack may have Pakistani roots - United States

Those were the old golden days. The present crop of mayawatis and laallu-mulayam yadavs are as far from Gandhian simplicity as you can get. However simple they may dress, they are sitting on a huge mountain of public loot in their homes. Mayawati for example came from humble origins. Her father was a post office worker. Now her assets run into millions of dollars, with several properties to her name. the Earlier CBI filed a case against her for owning assets disproportionate to her known sources of income. Her party asserted that her income comes from gifts and small contributions made by party workers and supporters. If simple living and progress of her people were such a priority, she could have atleast used a portion of her “gifts and contributions” which exceeds 100 crores making her one of the country’s top tax payers for the good progress of her community. That is what separates an honest leader from a money grabbing politician. A leader puts his people before anything else. An Indian politician puts himself and his public loot before anything else.

Mayawati - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The World Bank loaned India funds for development, and Mayawati was to manage projects with this money in UP. The projects were preplanned and on schedule, but the Mayawati government made changes which put the projects behind schedule, including rapidly transferring high-caste managers in and out of rural posts.[SUP][63]](Mayawati - Wikipedia)[/SUP] The World Bank sent a letter of complaint on 1 August 2002 to India’s central government stating, “We have now learnt that project managers have been replaced within three weeks of assuming office. The project coordinator of the Diversified Agriculture Support Project has been changed twice in quick succession and at the moment there is no project coordinator. In the forestry project, numerous changes have been made over the past six months … Such developments do not augur well for these time-bound projects that require consistently good leadership.”[SUP][64]](Mayawati - Wikipedia)[/SUP] Mayawati initially responded by saying the letter was a fake and later said there had been a misunderstanding. She then decreased the number of transfers, stopped creating new posts, and temporarily reduced the level of government spending on furniture and vehicles in response to the allegations. The World Bank continued to criticise the level of corruption even after these measures had been implemented

WikiLeaks allegations

Diplomatic cables published in 2011 through WikiLeaks detailing the opinions of American civil servants asserted that Mayawati ran all governmental decisions through her small group of advisors and that she employed food tasters for security.[SUP][65]](Mayawati - Wikipedia)[/SUP] The leaked messages also allege that she had sent a private jet to Mumbai to retrieve a pair of sandals.[SUP][66]](Mayawati - Wikipedia)[/SUP] Mayawati responded by saying the statements were baseless

So at the present maybe your politicians are better…

This aunty Mayawati is inspired from Pakistani politicians
