Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and BSP supremo Mayawati said on
Friday that it was shameful to make comments on her assets as she had
been honest unlike many other politicians who were dishonest and had
stashed away ill-gotten wealth in foreign countries.
Mayawati has declared her assets worth over Rs 80 crore in the
affidavit filed along with her nomination papers for election to the
state Legislative Council. She also challenged her detractors to
disclose their current assets as well as their worth before entering
or holding public office. She said it was because of such politicians
that billions of rupees kept in foreign banks would be come back to
India.
Mayawati said that she had been informing the Income-Tax Department
about her assets from time to time in a transparent manner and the
Opposition leaders' comments in the media were not only laughable, but
also showed to what extent they could stoop in a bid to regain lost
political ground.
Singling out Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, Mayawati said
before entering politics, he had only a few 'bighas' of land and a
bicycle, but now, he and his relatives had unaccounted wealth.

Mayawati's wealth
It is agonising that Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati has amassed
assets worth Rs.88 crore, as declared by her, during her political
career so far. Here is a fit case for investigating how she came by
this wealth. The public have the right to know the truth.
