Controversial Chief Minister of India's Uttar Pradesh state, Mayawati, has been criticised for accepting a huge garland made entirely of 1,000-rupee notes.
Ms Mayawati's supporters gave her the garland as a gift at her Bahujan Samaj Party's silver jubilee rally on Monday.
It is made of new 1,000-rupee notes and is estimated to have cost anywhere between $400,000 and $2m.
Ms Mayawati, who champions the cause of the poorest of the poor, is criticised for amassing vast personal wealth. More...
