garland of 1000 Rupees currency

FACT: Uttar Pradesh's chief minister Mayawati sent her private jet to pick up a pair of sandals, according to leaked US diplomatic cables.
WikiLeaks website in recent days described Mayawati, 55, as "a first-rate egomaniac" who "is obsessed with becoming prime minister".

They said Mayawati celebrated her birthday each year by receiving millions of dollars in gifts from "sycophantic party members, civil servants and business people" while officials vie for a chance to feed her cake. It added an account of Mayawati making a state minister do sit-ups in front of her as punishment for a minor protocol error, and reported it cost $250,000 to run as a BSP parliamentary candidate due to "institutionalized corruption".
"When she needed new sandals, her private jet flew empty to Mumbai to retrieve her preferred brand," a cable dated October 23, 2008 reported, adding she employed food tasters to guard against poisoning. "She constructed a private road from her residence to her office, which is cleaned immediately after her multiple vehicle convoy reaches its destination," the cable said in an analysis of her "eccentricities, whims and insecurities".
She has often been criticised for extravagance, erecting huge statues of herself in public parks and being greeted at rallies with garlands made out of 1,000-rupee bank notes.
OWL WATCH: WilkiLeaks website leaked some facts recently. Mayawati fact is well known to the Indian media but they seldom bite. Our media depends on some agencies like WikiLeaks to edit some breaking news for themselves.
Nothing is hidden in Mayawatis’s lavish life style as a queen of Uttar Pradesh. It is only the media who do not try to bell a cat. WikiLeaks nowadays is in shortage of their leaking news clips. They are leaking such a thing which is mostly known to all Indians.

If this is a year to fight against corruption, WikiLeaks website added a pinch of salt in corruption basket.
