India's Supreme Court has ordered the government of Uttar Pradesh state to stop building statues of the chief minister Mayawati and her mentors.
The court said construction work at memorials where the statues are being built had to stop by Friday evening.
Ms Mayawati, a low-caste Dalit - formerly "untouchable" - is an icon for India's 160m low-caste Hindus.
She is accused of self-glorification by her critics. But she accuses her opponents of conspiring against her. More...
