Behenji Mayawati announces Rs6000Cr plan; to make special provision for Sandal making factories for job creation

With elections to the Uttar Pradesh Assembly less than six months away, Chief Minister Mayawati (Behenji) on Sunday unveiled 484 schemes worth Rs6,035Cr on the death anniversary of BSP founder Kanshi Ram. Interestingly, Behenji provided a major chunk for sandal making factories with tax rebates and huge subsidies.

"I invite all the foreign shoe companies to visit UP and set up sandal making factories. Ladies sandal manufacturing plants will get special allowances," said Behenji. "This will infuse huge foreign direct investment in Uttar Pardes and will create jobs," she added proudly.

"Behenji doesn't like wastage of money. So much of money wasted on Charter Aeroplane to get one pair of sandal from Mumbai," said a spokesperson of BSP requesting anonymity. "She does not want UP ladies and Dalits to deprive of foreign made sandals and shoes. Further special concessions will be granted to foreign branded companies to sell sandals at inexpensive rates. This is totally in line with earlier Indian government who asked Tata to set up cosmetic plant to curb imports of cosmetic from foreign countries," he said.

"Yeh Wikileak ke malik ko tamaacha hai jisne ek dalit ki beti ko bolaa ki mujhe rajya karnaa nahi aata," said Behenji.

One opposition leader said "There is a big scam unveiling. Mayawati will get 2 pairs of special sandals every month for accepting proposals from foreign companies. She has also secured some share in the companies to ensure the consistent flow of sandals."

BSP spokesperson said "This is all rubbish. Behenji has a very big heart and she wants to take advantage of already established UP's leather industry. Further, she does not want to limit her love for different foreign made branded sandals and wants to spread it to all the ladies of UP."


The schemes are meant for water supply, sewerage and drainage projects worth Rs2105.56Cr and Rs2344Cr project for the power sector, which included laying down foundation stones of 26 transmission sub-stations, with a total cost of Rs1766.37Cr. Rest amount will go for sandal making factory.
