The media and Internet have been swamped for days with speculation about the exact value of the cash garland worn by the UP Chief Minister Mayawati to a rally.

Gujarat's Chief Minister, Narendra Modi, had been summoned by the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT) on March 21, 2010  in connection with the 2002 Gujarat riots case.

It must be noted that this was the first time that the Gujarat Chief Minister was summoned for questioning concerning the riots that took place eight years ago. The summoning by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) was initiated in response to a complaint filed by Zakia Jaffery, the wife of former MP Eshan Jaffrey, who was killed in the 2002 Gulburg society riots, along with 69 others.
