No link between ED raids and political donations to ruling party: FM
PTI, Mar 15, 2024, 5:53 PM IST
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday denied any link between the functioning of investigative agencies, including ED raids, and electoral funding to the ruling party, saying these allegations are just assumptions.
“What if the companies gave the money, and after that, we still went and knocked at their doors through ED (Enforcement Directorate). Is that a probability or not…It is an assumption that the ED went and knocked at their doors, and to save themselves they came up with funds. The second assumption is that are you sure that they have given (electoral bonds) to BJP. What if they probably gave to regional parties,” she said while speaking at India Today Conclave.
The finance minister’s comments came a day after the Election Commission of India published a list of subscribers of the electoral bonds and funds mobilised by various political parties.
