A couple of years ago, a late politician's Statues were set up on a large scale across AP and Telangana and most of them encroached the lands and deviated the road rules. Most of these Statues were erected in traffic islands, busy centers, near shopping malls etc. General public has naturally hated and disgusted with this culture of statue erection but were in vain.
Apparently the trend or madness of statue erection has been popped up It is heard that some late politicians' Statues are being erected in AP state on war foot basis. This time crores of rupees are being spent on these Statues. Reportedly, caste factors are also said to be responsible behind this new culture. With this bad culture, the biggest loss that AP to be facing is that it would miss its own heritage, identity, culture etc. It was also noticed that Statues of same political personality were erected within the distance of just 200 meters in the same road. " Erection of Statues in big numbers is a useless idea. Political parties think they get political gains but never imagine that a hatred is developed by the common people on those political parties and great personalities whose Statues are erected and it would surely reflect in poll results," says a political analyst.
