Man who vandalised Mayawati's statue to cut 60 kg cake for her birthday

Uttar Pradesh Navnirman Sena chief Amit Jani on Monday said he would hold a grand birthday celebration for BSP supremo Mayawati on January 15 by cutting a 60 kg cake for her at Muzaffarnagar.

With the announcement, Jani who shot to fame after vandalising BSP supremo Mayawati's statue in 2012, has given fuel to political rumours that his party might join hands with Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP). But Jani maintained that he has no plans to merge his party with the BSP.

"I am still against building statues of political leaders. But I respect Mayawati on a personal level," he said.

Jani, who is getting ready for the by-elections from Muzaffarnagar Sadar seat, said that he would not allow communal forces to form government in the state.
