      And this is not even the full data. There has been a lot of tampering. So far, this is what we have learnt from the above data:

      • These companies were already under the radar of anti-corruption agencies in India!

        Data released by the ECI reveals action by ED, CBI, and IT officials on at least 14 out of top 30 donor companies.

      • comparing the two PDFs released - first one has company data, second one has data on shares, but none of those PDFs have joined parties to their respective donors. There’s a case of severe miscalculations and missing data

        Despite the scheme’s initiation in March 2018, the State Bank of India (SBI) data provided only begins from April 2019, leaving a significant gap of Rs. 2,500 crores in bond transactions unaccounted for. This absence raises questions about the transparency and accountability of the scheme.

      • BJP has a lion’s share of the election bond, followed by TMC and INC. Rest of the regional parties have 1% or less.

        The Bharatiya Janata Party encashed electoral bonds worth ₹6060.5 crore — the highest among all parties — between April 12, 2019 and January 24, 2024. In the period, BJP’s share in the total bonds encashed was over 47.5%.

      • Ironically, of all the wannabe-leftist and pretend-leftist parties in India (including Socialist, People and Janta Dal parties), only CPI (Marxist) has refused electoral bonds, so W communism?

        “The fact is that the CPI(M) has refused to accept electoral bonds on principle. That is why it did not even open a designated State Bank of India account,” the party said.

      • The electoral commission has tampered with the data, and hidden the serial identification for bonds

        The Supreme Court on Friday rapped the State Bank of India (SBI) for not disclosing the electoral bonds numbers (unique alphanumeric numbers) and issued notice to the central bank, seeking a response by 18 March

      • There’s also involvement of shell companies, and their transactions are very fishy, if you consider their profit and donations side by side!

        The electoral bonds scheme has raised significant concerns, primarily due to the removal of restrictions on corporate donations, which opened avenues for shell companies to funnel black money into political funding, said Congress.

      That’s just the electoral part. Now, I’m really curious about foreign interference, especially the USA and Israel (ahem, Pegasus)?
