Data related to electoral bonds made public last week by the Election Commission of India (ECI) has turned the spotlight on not just some of the well known companies in the Telugu-speaking States but also many lesser known entities and individuals.
While these presumably low profile firms and individuals may not be as popular as realty and infrastructure developers Megha Group, Navayuga Engineering, My Home Group or pharma firms such as Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Aurobindo Pharma, Natco Pharma, Hetero, Divis and MSN, the questions still remain the same — the reason behind the purchase and the recipient.
The amount involved in the bonds they purchased is relatively small.. Figuring in the list are Sangireddy Thirupathi Reddy, Peddireddy Ramanjaneya Reddy and Pappi Reddy Kishore Kumar Reddy, who bought bonds totalling ₹5 lakh each. They are just a few of many individuals about whom little is known, including whether business entities, if any linked to them, or their associates also purchased the bonds.
