NewsX@9- Statue politics: Akhilesh re-installs statue; BSP demands President's rule

NewsX@9 is a NewsX special show which debates the main news event of the day. A new statue of Mayawati, replacing the one vandalized by miscreants, was installed overnight at Ambedkar Park in the city. Significantly, when the Samajwadi Party (SP) was in opposition and campaigning for assembly elections earlier this year, it had announced that if voted to power, it's government will bulldoze all the statues of Mayawati installed by her during her five years rule in 14 dalit memorials built in Lucknow and Noida. Now the SP is in power but political compulsions created a situation where its government was forced to install Mayawati's statue instead of bulldozing them. So we debate today- Is Mayawati using the statue controversy to position herself as the next Dalit icon? We debate the question on the show and try to evolve consensus among our panelists over the issue. Watch this NewsX special NewsX@9.
