Electoral Bond: Top donors to PM Modi's BJP party include Vedanta, Reliance-affiliate, among others
The data, released by the Election Commission of India under orders of the Supreme Court, showed top donors to the main opposition Congress party also included Megha Engineering and its affiliates, Vedanta and MKJ Enterprises. Reliance affiliate Qwik Supply Chain is one of the top donors for the BJP. India is holding national elections starting from April 19 and political financing has been seen with suspicion for decades.
The data was the first time that the names of corporate political donors and their beneficiaries under a controversial funding mechanism have been made public.
