Rs.5 crore garland for Mayawati!!

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati was presented a giant garland of currency notes by her fans from Karnataka. The exact value of the garland is not known, but onlookers are guessing it to be of Rs.5 crore! In fact, no one noticed the Rs.1,000 currency notes with which the giant garland was created. It was identified by a local photographer when he zoomed in and then after people had a glance over it. When Mayawati was being garlanded, beholders thought it as one made of some exquisite imported flowers. But, mediapersons could make out from a distance that it was not a run-of-the-mill garland. However, the mystery was unravelled no sooner than the still pictures were promptly lifted and beamed by TV channels about this unique garland in which some 50,000 currency notes of Rs.1,000 were believed to have been used. The garland was specially crafted and brought by Mayawati's party functionaries all the way from Bangalore for Monday's mega rally organised by her to mark the Bahujan Samaj Party's silver jubilee celebrations, which coincided with the 76th birth anniversary of party founder and her political mentor Kanshi Ram.
