News Donations to parties jumped 151% jump in 2014-15: ADR

[Deepu]

Donations to political parties increased by 151% this year as compared to the last year but details regarding donors continue to remain elusive. National political parties received Rs 622.38 crore from 1,695 donations in 2014-2015 as compared to Rs 247.77 crore collected last fiscal.

While Congress did not disclose cheque or DD numbers for 192 donations amounting to Rs 138.98 crore (that's 98% of its contribution), BJP did not give PAN card number, address and mode of contribution for 20 donors who contributed an amount of Rs 83.91 lakh.

Political parties rely heavily on donations for contesting elections and running their daily affairs. They receive huge sums of money in the form of donations from corporates or business houses, trusts and individuals.

This itself shows who is more cunning. Bloody congress is not disclosing the details of 138 crore.
