Mayawati will meet same fate as Saddam Hussein: Azam Khan

Lucknow: Senior Samajwadi Party leader, Azam Khan on Sunday said Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Mayawati would meet the same fate like Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein.

Khan slammed Mayawati for misusing funds to erect statues of herself and her party symbol, elephant.

"The elephants and the statues of Mayawati are now being covered. When we had seen the fall of Saddam Hussein's statue then it was also covered. We do not know what the future holds but when the statues of Mayawati, which she believes stands in the heart of the people, will fall then a good time for the state would start," said Khan.

Chief Election Commissioner of India, S.Y. Quraishi had ordered to cover the statues of Mayawati and her party symbol elephant, which are placed in numerous parks and memorials built by the government in Lucknow and Noida, before the seven-phase assembly elections begin in the State on February 4.

Quraishi's decision came after a slew of complaints from opposition parties.
