The Statue of Unity

It is also the biggest waste of Indian taxpayers' money in the recent past. To quote British Conservative MP Peter Bone from The Daily Express : To take £1.1billion in aid from us and then at the same time spend £330million on a statue is a total nonsense and it is the sort of thing that drives people mad. What it proves is that we should not be giving money to India. It is up to them how they spend their money but if they can afford this statue, then it is clearly a country we should not need to be giving aid to.
