Lucknow painted blue for Kanshi Ram's birth anniversary

Lucknow, March 14 (IANS) The Uttar Pradesh capital appeared to have
been painted blue on the eve of the 77th birth anniversary of Kanshi
Ram, the late founder of the state's ruling Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP)
and Chief Minister Mayawati's political mentor, Tuesday.

The city's main thoroughfares were flanked by blue hoardings
announcing the big event March 15.

Even hoardings carrying advertisements various brands and companies
were hijacked for the purpose.

Not only has the sprawling Kanshi Ram Memorial spread across a newly
developed 190-acre park been given a blue hue, but even other
monuments and statues erected by Mayawati in honour of BSP icons were
covered under canopies of blue lights.

Countless buntings, banners and posters can be seen hanging down from
every lamp-post along the major thoroughfares, each emboldened with
the names of party functionaries sponsoring the display.

However, unlike the big bash on Mayawati's 55th birthday Jan 15, no
public function has been planned on Kanshi Ram's birth anniversary.
Mayawati would offer flowers at the Kanshi Ram memorial at 10 a.m.
Tuesday, said an official spokesman.
