Mayawati calls emergency meet to Garland controversy

According to sources, the garland controversy, the bees at her rally and the low turnout are likely to dominate the agenda.

The emergency meeting has been called as the Income Tax department probes the garland of thousand-rupee notes which BSP workers gifted her during Monday's rally in Lucknow, organised to mark the party's 25th anniversary. (Read: Income Tax inquiry into Mayawati's garland)

The department is reportedly collecting photographs and video footage of the garland from various sources, including newspapers and TV channels that covered the event.

Initial inquiries revealed that the garland was woven at the Lucknow residence of a senior BSP leader by artistes from Karnataka who had arrived there a month in advance.
