Mayawati was presented with a garland worth Rs 2 crore and made up entirely of Rs 1000 notes during a rally to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Bahujan Samaj Party in Lucknow on March 15.
Two days later, a defiant BSP gifted another garland made up of currency notes worth Rs 18 lakh to her.
The Income Tax department is reportedly investigating the party for the garlands.
