Just a few metres from the Ganga at the Mela Bhawan in Haridwar lies a massive package, wrapped in black plastic sheets and tightly bound with ropes. It is the 12-foot-tall stone statue of Tamil poet-saint Thiruvalluvar, left here after Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Uttarakhand Tarun Vijay failed to get a site allotted for it. Ms Vanathi Srinivasan, Vice President Tamil Nadu BJP assures that Thiruvalluvar statue gets installed sooner.
