Mayawati's wealth as mentioned in this article is what she has in India. She and Kanshiram used to go to Switzerland to get away from the heat of UP (Atalji used to go to Ranikhet in Uttaranchal). I wonder if those trips were just vacation. After all, Indians have over trillion dollars deposited in the Swiss Banks.
When will people of UP rise above caste politics and vote this person out of the office. Between Mayawati and Mulayam Yadav, the state of UP became a lot sicker than it was (It is part of the BIMARU states!!!).

"The CBI listed the immovable assets of Mayawati and her family as follows: 41 agricultural plots, 16 residential plots, 7 shops, three orchards, two shops-cum-residences located in and around Delhi; a mansion in her ancestral village of Badalpur, described by NDTV as a mini-Taj Mahal, buit on a sprawling 30,000 square yards estate. According to a CBI list filed in 2003, Mayawati then had assets worth Rs 36.5 million in one bank account and Rs 2.345 million in another. In 2004 she had Rs 1.5 million in cash and Rs 97.8 million in bank accounts and jewellery worth Rs 3.09 million. In 2007 her moveable assets included Rs 5.02 million in cash, Rs 128.8 million in bank deposits and jewellery worth Rs 5.08 million. Giving further details of her jewellery, Mayawati listed 1035.260 grammes of gold 76.040 grammes of diamonds and 18,500 kgs of silver. She also admitted owning murals worth Rs 1.5 million. According to Mayawati’s own self-evaluation from two affidavits her financial worth including both moveable and immoveable assets jumped from Rs 160.7 million in 2004 to Rs 520 million in 2007. "
