Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday questioned the Election Commission on donations of Rs 4300 crore received by anonymous political parties in Gujarat. He shared the report of Dainik Bhaskar and said that these 10 parties took such a big donation, but showed only 39 lakh rupees.
He wrote on X- There are some unnamed parties in Gujarat, which no one listened to the name but got a donation of ₹ 4300 crore. These parties have contested, or spent on them on very few occasions.
Where did these thousands of crores come from? Who is running them? And where did the money go? Will the Election Commission investigate or ask for affidavit here too? Or will the law change, so that this data can also be hidden?
Rahul Gandhi is currently on a 16 -day ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in Bihar. The yatra will cover more than 1,300 km and will end in Patna on 1 September via 20 districts. In the yatra, Congress and RJD leaders have accused the election list of disturbances and ‘vote theft’.
