Have a Hearty Laugh-2:

UP Chief Minister Mayavati was worth Rs.1.5 crores as per the property statement submitted by her before the 2004 elections and Rs.52 crores before the 2007 elections. Reporters queried her how 1.5 crores became 52 crores. She is reported to have told them that it was from small contributions of Rs.5 and 10 from party workers and the general public who knew her to be the champion of the poor and backward classes.
