Mayawati declares her birthday for the poor

LUCKNOW - Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati, who turned 54 on Friday, has decided that instead of accepting gifts, she would present gifts to the poor on her birthday.

It is reported that a symblic cake will be cut in all the 403 assembly constituencies, where her party workers are expected to inform the people about the achievements of the government.

Mayawati’s last birthday had come under strong criticism, as she was lavished with expensiven gifts, golds, diamonds and cash by her suuporters. (ANI)
