Electoral Bonds

Propagandists, opposition and left-liberals ran narrative against BJP using data of Electoral Bonds released by ECI

DMK has tried to justify the party receiving funds from controversial firm Future Gaming to the tune of Rs 509 crores. The donation had earlier created a political furor and basis for speculative allegations by the opposition against the BJP.

DMK received ₹656.5 crore from Electoral Bonds from 2019 to 2023, and out that ₹509 crore came from just one company, Future Gaming.

An old video of late BJP leader Arun Jaitley explaining how electoral bonds provided transparency and a clean political financing tool has gone viral on the internet.

Lashing out at the Congress, Amit Shah said before the introduction of bonds, the grand old party's cash transaction system bred corruption.

It was reported in January 2023 that Santiago Martin’s son-in-law Aadhav Arjuna was roped in by the DMK as the chief election strategist of the party in the run-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

A day after ECI published electoral bonds data, Congress had a meltdown over the funding received by the BJP.

Contrary to the claims made by the DMK and Congress ecosystem, the Hub Power Company is not based in Pakistan but in India's National Capital.

It is important to note here that Congress stands as the third-biggest beneficiary of the electoral bonds after BJP and TMC as per the data revealed by the Election Commission of India. Congress has been ruling three states in the country, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, and Telangana at present.

A report has clearly mentioned that "one of Hyderabad's top corporate hospitals, Yashoda Super Speciality Hospital has contributed Rs 162 crore to the electoral bonds, making them the second highest contributors in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh combined".
