Donations to BJP in Electoral Bonds: A detailed examination of the data released by the Election Commission of India indicates that the top 10 out of 487 electoral bond donors contributing to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party have contributed Rs 2,119 crore. This amounts to 35 per cent of the party’s electoral bond fund, totaling Rs 6,060 crore encashed since April 2019, making it the largest among all political parties. Here in this article, we would be giving list of 33 donors that donated more than 30 crores to BJP in electoral bonds
The disclosure of this data by the ECI, following SBI’s submission of a compliance affidavit as instructed by the Supreme Court, marks the most extensive revelation to date regarding the controversial electoral bond scheme, which previously guaranteed complete anonymity to donors. On February 15, the scheme was deemed “unconstitutional” by the court and subsequently abolished.
