NEW DELHI: UP chief minister Mayawati's wealth has grown by over 400% in the last three years. While filing her papers for the Lok Sabha election in 2004, she had declared her assets at a little over over Rs 11 crore. And now, as reported by TOI on Tuesday, she has declared in a sworn affidavit that her wealth amounts to Rs 52.5 crore.

The real growth in her wealth during this period has come from property investments. On April 4, 2004, when Mayawati filed for contesting from the Akbarpur <b>Lok Sabha seat, she declared that she owned four houses — all of them at Inderpuri (C-57, 58, 74 and 75) in Delhi — which were cumulatively worth 1.25 crore. </b>

<b>This time, she has declared some prime pieces of property in Delhi — one of them on Sardar Patel Marg, an exclusive locality abutting the Capital’s diplomatic enclave. According to her, this alone is worth Rs 18 crore, although real estate agents place its market value at much higher. The rest are commercial properties in the city — two in Connaught Place, worth Rs 3.3 crore, and another in Okhla, worth Rs 15.5 crore.</b>

At the same time, <b>she has added jewellery and diamonds worth over Rs 70 lakh. Earlier she had declared jewellery worth nearly Rs 31 lakh. Now, she possesses jewellery in gold and diamonds worth over Rs 1 crore. In cash alone, from Rs 1.5 lakh in 2004, she now has over Rs 50 lakh and her money in banks and other financial institutions has grown from Rs 9.78 crore to Rs 12.88 crore</b>. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
