| Lucknow: Just when the whole country is talking about the cash-loaded garland gifted to Uttar Pradesh CM Mayawati, the minister was once again seen accepting a garland of currency notes, which is said to be worth Rs 18 lakh.
Overlooking all criticism, the BSP chief went on to accept the garland comprising notes of various denominations. It was put around her neck at a party meeting.
After the meeting, the state PWD minister Naseemuddin Siddiqui told reporters that Mayawati will henceforth be greeted with garland of notes and not with garland of flowers. He had earlier rejected speculation that the value of garland ran into crores of rupees.
The second incident of accepting garland today clearly revealed her defiance. The Bahujan Samaj Party leader has come under poignant criticism from both the Parliament members and the common people.
The income tax department has decided to probe into the matter and find out the source of the money for the garland presented to her at the mega rally. Moreover, the Congress and BJP have also sought a CBI probe. |
